Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Patrick McGoohan's enigmatic 1967 TV miniseries about a spy who resigns his duties, only to be kidnapped and imprisoned in a seemingly idyllic seaside resort of undetermined national affiliation remains one of the medium's most compelling parables about individuality and the dangers of creeping conformity. Longtime fans of the cult show should welcome this first volume of the show's quirky, distinctive musical scores. Anchored by Ron Grainer's propulsive main and end titles, this volume features musical highlights of three Prisoner episodes ("Arrival," "Chimes of Big Ben," "A, B and C") as well as key snippets of dialogue. The cues here span library stock cues and the work of a number of British TV composers, ranging from tortuously treacly Muzak and jolly marching band music (Strauss's "Radetzky Waltz" in particular) to '60s jazz exotica, orchestral music, and spooky lullabies. As utilized by music editor Eric Mival in the show's unsettling context, it's the stuff of authoritarian-inspired nightmares--and some of the most consistently successful uses of musical irony in TV history. Also includes an unused main theme and informative illustrated booklet. --Jerry McCulley

You have to watch the Prisoner to fully appriciate the musical manipulation that happens on the psychological level. The marches are sinister and the jazz pieces are exciting and uplifting.

Very much improved sound. A huge improvement over previous releases. Put together in episode order (ie all the music from Arrival,then Chimes,AB&C etc, interspersed with atmospheric sound bites from each episode. A must for all Prisoner Fans. There are 3 volumes in total.

Wonderful collection; looks like the first of a three-part CD collection. Includes excerpts of classic dialogue from episodes in the series--"...I will not be pushed, indexed...." The liner notes include minor but interesting trivia on the soundtrack creators such as Ron Grainer--paid 48 English pounds for the license to use the Beatles' "All you need is love" in the final episode. The sound quality in this collection could use further enhancements, but you get full versions of the background music ... Read More

Can you imagine waking up in a strange place, walking over to a window, looking out seeing this beautiful but strange village. It's not a dream, but the suspenseful truth as you contemplate your next move. Your stand in this matter is you will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered ~ my life is my own. Thus we have "THE PRISONER", the cast for this Patrick McGoohan's classic of seventeen episodes from British television was a series to end all series. It had everything ... Read More
