Brian Matthew celebrates pop's golden decade. The Chronicles remembers Beyond the Fringe, Max Miller's death, Chuck Berry's first UK tour and Mick and Keith's court appearance.

Brian Matthew with this week's selection of top sixties tracks - the hits, the rarities, the facts, the trivia and the Sixties Chronicles. This week discs from Otis Redding, Taste, John Leyton, The Newbeats, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Zombies, The Platters, Gene Vincent and Cream. There's a Double-A from Shirley Bassey and two songs from writer John Carter, who was related to which very famous playwright and poet? And another question: who was the guitarist in the Syndicats who went on to be part of the supergroup Yes? The Three-in-a-Row features tracks which illustrate a listener's early romantic notions.

The Sixties Chronicles looks back at Beyond the Fringe, the death of Max Miller, Chuck Berry's first UK tour and what happened when Mick and Keith appeared in court.
