Elmer Gantry and Kirby Gregory share their 70s memories including forming the 'Fake' Fleetwood Mac and later, Stretch.

Best known for their 1975 hit single 'Why Did You Do It?', there was a period when it seemed Stretch were going to give the likes of Bad Company and Rainbow a run for their money. Yet despite their instant chart success the group had disappeared by the end of the decade.

Also on the show, Johnnie will delve into the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive to find out what was happening this week in music 40 years ago and another classic seven-inch single will be added into Johnnie's Jukebox.
