Synopsis

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s.
The A-Z of The Beatles which works its way through their entire catalogue playing every one of their recordings - this week 'When I Get Home' from A Hard Day's Night. Also 'The EP Collection' - looking at one of Cliff's 4-track vinyl releases which featured in the dedicated EP charts. With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. Artists include Vanity Fair, Elvis, Love Affair, Lesley Duncan Aphrodite's child and Bill Oddie.
Sounds Of The Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of sixties pop shows.
