BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 60s with Tony Blackburn, 22/02/2014

Brian Matthew continues his musical exploration of the 1960s.

Those 60s stalwarts, The Beatles get the privilege of a double spin on the show today, as Brian plays 'All You Need Is Love' & 'Baby You're A Rich Man' from 1967. The latter was formed from two unfinished tracks when John Lennon combined his half written song 'One Of The Beautiful People' with Paul McCartney's equally unfinished track 'Baby You're A Rich Man'. They later dedicated the end result to their manager, Brian Epstein.

Listener requests this week span the decade as Brian plays tracks for our dedicated avids by the likes of: Buffalo Springfield, The Locomotive, Janice Ward, Unit 4 +2, James Ray, Kathy Kirby & Bruce Channel.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
