Sounds of the 60s - 19/06/2010

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. With tracks from Vanilla Fudge, Louis Armstrong, Delaney & Bonnie, Jan & Dean, The Piltdown Men, Jim Reeves, The Idle Race and Georgie Fame. With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. The A-Z of The Beatles, which works its way through their entire catalogue, reaches 'You Won't See Me'. There are two tracks from The Ivy League and a three-in-a row featuring the Farfisa organ. And who did Eugene Dixon turn out to be? Sounds Of The Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of sixties pop shows.
