LATEST EPISODE 🔗
The Sixties had begun. Someone had apparently forgotten to tell the prosecution.
It is 1960. The Beatles are still playing clubs, the mini-skirt is some way off, Britain has yet to start swinging and much of the country still carries itself with the reassuring conviction that there is a proper w…

Two voices, one microphone, a broken heart and a drum sound that seemed to arrive from somewhere in the future.
This time on Seven Inches of History, we reach The Everly Brothers and "Cathy's Clown" – one of the most distinctive records of 1960 and a single that helped define the sound of pop ha…
One raised eyebrow, one unmistakable voice and a perfectly innocent question that somehow sounds anything but.

A dustbin, a donkey jacket and one of the biggest singalongs of 1960.
This time on Seven Inches of History, we reach one of those records that seems to have been part of British life forever — Lonnie Donegan's "My Old Man's a Dustman."

Two number ones before breakfast. Adam Faith was just getting started.
Adam Faith was not an accident. While some artists stumble into the charts through luck or timing, Terence Nelhams-Wright from Acton arrived at number one in the spring of 1960 as the result of a series of very deliberate …
The accidental pop star who couldn't wait to get back to the theatre.
Anthony Newley never really wanted to be a pop singer. He wanted to be in the theatre. The trouble was, the British public had other ideas, and in February 1960 they kept "Why" at number one for four consecutive weeks, making …
The record that started a decade, and made history doing it.
The 1960s didn't begin with a fanfare. They began with a carry-over. Emile Ford and the Checkmates had reached number one back in November 1959 with "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For" and when January 1st 1960 arrived, the…
One week at the top, a lifetime of sadness behind the smile.
The first brand new number one of the 1960s belonged to a man from Liverpool with a voice like warm honey and a stage name chosen for its lightness. Michael Holliday. It suited him perfectly. What it didn't tell you was anything abo…
