Johnny Marr chooses his final Tracks Of My Years

Johnny Marr is our special guest on Tracks Of My Years, plus there's more audio gold in Vernon's Vault and, of course, Vernon's mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top.

Guitar legend and former member of The Smiths Johnny Marr picks his Tracks Of My Years all this week.

Having first found success as the guitarist and co-songwriter of The Smiths, Johnny released his first solo album The Messenger in 2013, and last month he brought us 鈥楽pirit Power鈥�, his first solo compilation album, with each and every track curated by Johnny himself. And it's a boom time for Johnny's fans, as he's also released a photographic book called 'Marr's Guitars', showcasing the most significant of Johnny鈥檚 collection of electric and acoustic guitars.

Johnny's final tracks are by The The and Pet Shop Boys.

There'll be more audio nuggets from the 大象传媒 Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album of the week and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
