Brian Matthew rolls back the years and rolls out the hits from pop's golden decade.

There's a Loose Connection tying Jet Harris & Tony Meehan, The Searchers and The Monkees together this week, see if you can find out what it is before Brian reveals the answer.

We'll be Playing Hard To Get with Larry Cunningham & The Mighty Avengers and their song, 'Tribute To Jim Reeves' - our rare track of the week as suggested by a loyal listener. For those that aren't aware, Larry Cunningham recorded this tribute monologue composed on the back of a cigarette packet by Eddie Masterson, after Reeves sadly died in a fatal plane crash in 1964.

All this and plenty more classic music from the likes of Los Bravos, Sounds Incorporated, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Marlene Dietrich, Donovan and Pat Boone.
