About the author

Anthony Philip Swern, known as Phil "The Collector" Swern, was an English radio producer, music producer and collector, who earned the nickname "The Collector" from working on Sounds of the 60s with Brian Matthew. Born in Ealing, London, he was formerly a record producer and songwriter, and also wrote for television. He produced Pick of the Pops for Radio 1 in the late 1980s and early 1990s and produced the show for BBC Radio 2 from 1997 to 2023. He also produced Sounds of the 60s for Radio 2 from 2007 until his death and formerly produced the Saturday night Bob Harris Show for the same station, also producing Harris's Radio 1 shows in the early 1990s. He also devised the questions for the PopMaster quiz on Radio 2's Ken Bruce Show until this role was assumed by Neil Myners and Simon Bray. Swern co-wrote the quiz show Pop the Question with Jeremy J. Beadle and co-created fellow quiz show That's Showbusiness with screenwriter Jeremy Pascall.

Reflections and lessons learned/the content of this book made me feel…

…that this was a fab long term book with a massive range - who’d have thought that a book would result in a family member opening a window and shouting ‘I hate the beach boy’ with such anger though? Great fun
