Sounds of the 60s - 07/08/2010

Join Brian Matthew for the music show for all fans of the Sixties. The A-Z of the Beatles, which has been playing all their releases during the decade and is getting close to the end of the (Long and Winding) road, reaches 'Come And Get It'. With requests, rarities and hits of the Sixties, the selection of records sweeps right across the entire ten years. This week other tracks included are from The Marbles, Duane Eddy, Tomorrow, The Dakotas, The Big Three, Taste and Simon Dupre. There are two from Desmond Dekker and the Three-In-A-Row looks at three tracks which lost out in the charts to competing versions. And what is the connection between Kenny Everett and ex-BBC Director General John Birt? Listen to Kenny's theme tune to his TV show 'Nice Time' and find out.
