Brian Matthew with songs and trivia from pop's golden decade. The Chronicles remembers the Great Train Robbery, Ready Steady Go! and John Lennon's infamous 'Jesus' remark.

Tracks this week from Shirley Ellis, Tim Rose, The Marmalade, Chris Montez, The Alan Price Set, The Ugly Ducklings, Neil Christian and two songs written by Bob Dylan. And a question - who was the first father and daughter duo to top the UK charts? This week's Three-In-A-Row has a Sheffield theme and there is a Double-A side from Fats Domino. The Sixties Chronicles looks back at the history of Tell Laura I Love Her, the Great Train Robbery, the start of Ready Steady Go!, the beginnings of American military action in Vietnam, John Lennon's infamous 'Jesus' remark and the 'I'm Backing Britain' campaign.
