Sixties British Pop: A Look Back

In “Please Please Me: Sixties British Pop, Inside and Out," Gordon Thompson journeys to the center of the British pop-making establishment in the 1960's through conversations with the major players themselves. He joins us to share his insider's view of the distinctly British songwriting and production techniques that developed during the period, the "bulge" generation's influence on Brit culture, and the stars themselves, from the Beatles to The Who to King Crimson.
