The NZBC's premier 60s music show was the ultimate pop confection, complete with hip presenter Peter Sinclair, hyperactive go-go dancers, pop art set and breathless pace. In one of two surviving episodes, regulars Mr Lee Grant, Herma Keil and Billy Karaitiana cover the hits of the day with help from guests The Gremlins (previewing the psychedelic pop of their single 'Blast Off 1970'), 50s rock'n'roll pioneer Bob Paris, and "southern songbird" Bronwyn Neil. The show is rounded out with a medley of nostalgia favourites (with a cameo from Sinclair).

First-rate. Yes, it's all cover versions, but the musicianship, singing and the sets are not only charming---they are right on, and the pace of the show is exemplary. No time is wasted, no superfluous talk---and Pete Sinclair is the perfect host.

Ahh, memories! Will be celebrating Mr Lee's 67th in London with him next April, but in '67 I was 15 and had left school to work for Harry M Miller who promoted the best international pop shows. Radio Hauraki had just started, and as teens, this was all we had to look forward to on TV. Congratulations to Kevan Moore and his team, great days!
