Tracklisting

Side A:
A1. Theme from The Persuaders

Side B:
B1. The Girl With the Sun in Her Hair

  • The Girl With the Sun in Her Hair was composed by John Barry and is not connected to The Persuaders!

  • The track name on the label omitted the series' famous exclamation mark so here's one to compensate!

Notes

  • In chart terms, Theme from The Persuaders proved to be one of John Barry's most successful compositions as a solo artists. It entered the British pop charts in January 1972, remained on the chart for 15 weeks reaching a high of #13 on 29th January, and even had an unofficial pop video shot to accompany it on the BBC's Top of the Pops featuring the programme's resident dance group of the time, Pan's People.

  • The UK release was issued in a generic sleeve. As a bonus feature, we are presenting the picture sleeves that accompanied the contemporary Dutch, German, Spanish and Swedish releases (all CBS, catalogue number CBS 7469).
