Brian Matthew plays tracks by the Beatles, Sandi Sheldon, Petula Clark, the Barron Knights and the Ivy League, plus a double spin for The Move's 1968 release Blackberry Way.

Birmingham rockers The Move are getting a double spin this week, as Brian plays both sides of their 1968 release, 'Blackberry Way'. Our Classically Pop track is 'Entry of the Gladiators' by Nero & The Gladiators, which steals its melody from Julius Fucik's 1897 military march of the same name.

Listener requests being honoured include tracks by The Beatles, Sandi Sheldon, Petula Clark, The Barron Knights and The Ivy League.
