Brian Matthew selects classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, including a double spin for 1963's Hungry For Love by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.

Brian Matthew presents more 60s classics and often forgotten tracks from the era. Johnny Kidd & The Pirates get a double spin today, as Brian gives their 1963 release, 'Hungry For Love' a dusting off and plays both the A and B side. 

There's a Loose Connection tying tracks by The Humblebums, Dr West's Medicine Show & Junk Band and Flaming Youth together, and listener requests bring records by Cream, The Love Affair, The Undertakers, The San Remo Strings, Del Shannon, Yes, Nick Villard and The Muleskinners to the play list.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
