Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s with a tribute to The Ronettes.

With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, B sides, obscurities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. Including requests, dedications and regular features: The A-Z of The Beatles works its way through their entire catalogue; Stuck On Two replays hits from across the Atlantic which didn't quite make it to the top of the charts; and The Song Swap features two hit covers from well-known artists.

Playing Hard To Get is for listeners who have a favourite song but who have lost the original record. Brian finds the track, plays it and sends the lucky listener a copy of the song from the 'Phil Swern' collection.

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.
