Brian Matthew with this week's selection from pop's golden decade with hits, rarities, facts and figures.

Brian Matthew presents this week's selection from the vault. Classic tracks from The Applejacks, Marvin Gaye, Del Shannon, The Small Faces, The Kinks, John Fred & His Playboy Band, The Beatles and The Hollies. Requests include The Merseys - Sorrow, Brian Poole & The Tremeloes - Swiss Maid and Paul Simon - I Am A Rock.

The 大象传媒 Session track is from Cream (Born Under A Bad Sign) and was recorded in 1967. There's the story of The Cherry Smash and their version of Sing Songs Of Love - later recorded by Manfred Mann. We also hear how Nickolas and Valerie Simpson wrote and sang on a track for Maxine Brown but then managed to get relegated to the B side of the release. And who was nicknamed The Singing Ranger?
