Synopsis

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. This week the A-Z of The Beatles reaches 'Wild Honey Pie'. Three-In-A-Row marks the anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo and there are tracks by Nirvana, The Amen Corner, The Flirtations, Bobby Bland, Fleetwood Mac, Gale Garnett, and Otis Redding.

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. 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.
