Brian Matthew selects more classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, with music including a highly collectable Decca single by British band the Birds.

Brian's spinning a highly collectable Decca single by British band, The Birds - not to be confused with the American band, The Byrds. Their cover of Motown offering, 'Leaving Here', was just one of around a dozen singles that failed to make a huge impact on the charts throughout the sixties.

This week's Loose Connection ties The Shadows, The Mindbenders and The Tremeloes together, while listener requests include tracks by The Seekers, Chris Montez, The Everly Brothers and Darrell Banks.
