Favourite tracks and a few surprises from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

This week New Edition, Janet Kay, Soft Cell and The Small Faces all feature.

We remember significant anniversaries for Adam & The Ants and U2, plus celebrate musical birthdays for the frontman of Japan, a singer-songwriter born in Northwich who 'escaped' thanks to a cocktail... and the UK's first Eurovision Song Contest winner.
