Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s.
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. This week The A-Z of the Beatles reaches a demo of the song 'You'll Be Mine' recorded on Paul's home Grundig tape recorder. The common theme for Three-in-a-Row is 'Toys'. And there are tracks from Jimi Hendrix, The Nice, Elvis, The Who, Brenda Lee, Peter Paul and Mary, Dave Davies and a record by impresario Bill Kenwright - soon to be presenting his own series on Radio 2.

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.
