3/8. As the pop single struggles to secure its niche in the digital era, Radio 2 singles out eight 45rpm records - all released between 1966 and 1977 - for their lasting significance. Each week a known music figure presents an in-depth exploration of a classic seven-inch. Tonight Fran Healy (of Travis) enthuses over the Beach Boys'laboriously produced US/UK number one, Good Vibrations - a technically innovative and rather anthem-like track recorded in part alongside but not appearing on their 1966 long-playing triumph Pet Sounds. With input from Neil Finn and Tim Finn (of Crowded House), Charlie Reid and Craig Reid (of the Proclaimers), Glen Campbell and Brian Wilson.
