Highlights from The Cellar Tapes, Pure 107.8 FMs alternative sixties show, aired on January 2nd 2010.
Given this was the first show of the year, it seemed fitting to look back at the vintage sixties albums celebrated in The Cellar during 2009.
Which meant playing such wonders like The Kinks, The Small Faces, Scott Walker, Os Mutantes, The Monks, The Left Banke and We The People.
