Notes

  • Recorded on Wednesday 4th April 1979 at the Royal Hibernian Hotel in Dublin, this interview is one of a very small number that Patrick McGoohan gave in which he talked at length about The Prisoner.

  • At the time of the interview, McGoohan was in Ireland to film Michael Dryhurst's The Hard Way (1980).

  • The interview was initially released on audio cassette in 1981. This version was edited in two places and when Roger Goodman reissued it on CD in 2oo2 the excised material was reinstated.

  • Further details about the interview can be found at www.prizbiz.com.

Notes

  • This 3-CD set brought together all the Chappell Music Library pre-recorded cues heard on the soundtrack of The Prisoner.

  • A handful of other pre-recorded, non-Chappell tracks, including Carmen Miranda's I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much), were not included as they were deemed too costly to licence and were available on other commercial releases - which was generally not the case with the Chappell tracks.

  • Several cues had previously seen release on another fan-produced compilation, Space Adventures, a collection of Chappell library tracks used in 1960s Doctor Who. This was released on audio cassette (RDMP1, 1987) and compact disc (JPD 2CD, 1998).

  • The Complete Chappell Recorded Library Cues set was officially licensed by The Chappell Recorded Music Library, a subsidiary of Universal Publishing Production Music.

  • Library cues, as the term implies, were not specially composed for The Prisoner and were available to licence for use in television, film and radio productions. As such, listeners might possibly recognise cues from other 1960s series.

  • The set was  marketed exclusively online with orders invited via email and The Unmutual website. It was not sold through any shop.

  • A limited edition of 1,000 units was produced and each copy was individually numbered.

  • The three discs were numbered 1, 2 and 6 in a homage to The Prisoner's most prominent protagonists.

  • The set included a 56-page booklet that sported an introduction written by The Prisoner music editor Eric Mival, plus track-by-track information about the disc contents. It also contained writing by Roger Langley, Rick Davy and publisher Derek Lawton.

  • Much like the first wave of Network ITC soundtracks, The Complete Chappell Recorded Library Cues set was issued in a DVD-style plastic case.

  • The back cover carried several unfortunate typos, most notably the mispelling Eric Mival's surname as 'Marvel'.

  • The discs in this set were proper pressed discs as opposed to recordable media, and were professionally replicated.

  • The majority of the content of The Complete Chappell Recorded Library Cues was later incorporated into Network's 50th Anniversary Prisoner releases.

EVERYMAN:
A CELEBRATION OF PATRICK McGOOHAN & THE PRISONER

Background

Everyman – the brainchild of writer, actor and illustrator Brian Gorman – was first performed as a one-man stage play in Manchester in 2012.

“The Prisoner was such a personal project for McGoohan, and I decided that merging the man and the character (Number Six), in a Prisoner-esque setting, examining how his life was the template for his greatest work, should make for an entertaining and thoughtful stage play.”
BRIAN GORMAN

The play ran to excellent reviews, before moving to Chester, Leeds and Liverpool, and has also been performed on several occasions at Portmeirion, where The Prisoner was originally filmed.

In 2016, Everyman was adapted as a graphic novel, which was re-imagined by Invisible Six in 2017.

“Once the stage play proved successful, the next natural step was to adapt it into a graphic novel. In the book I was able to depict all the many characters McGoohan met.”

In March 2017, Everyman was released by Quoit Media as an audio drama.

Notes

  • This 6-CD set brought together the content of the two previous soundtrack releases The Prisoner Original Soundtrack (Network, 2007) and The Prisoner: The Complete Chappell Recorded Library Cues (Derek Lawton, 2010), reordering the tracks to make a cohesive (almost) full soundtrack to The Prisoner.

  • A handful of non-Chappell tracks, including Carmen Miranda's I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much), were not included as they were deemed too costly to licence and were available on other commercial releases - which was generally not the case with the Chappell tracks. A small number of tracks from The Complete Chappell Recorded Library Cues were omitted, including All You Need is Love by The Bootleg Beatles. However, several library tracks that featured in the original edits of Arrival and The Chimes of Big Ben were added to the line up.

  • Network's Original Soundtrack & Library Music Remastered CD set was also included - with slightly different packaging and no individual barcode - in the company's lavish 'Village Editions' Blu-ray-CD-Book boxed set released on 29th September 2017 to celebrate The Prisoner's 50th Anniversary.

  • Disc 1, with a total running time of 82:56, was really pushing the boundaries of what it was physically possible to fit on a compact disc.

  • The set included a 48-page Programme Notes book written by Andrew Pixley.

Notes

  • In September 1990, Patrick McGoohan was invited back to the United Kingdom to attend the launch at Birmingham’s NEC of the new Prisoner edition Caterham Seven car.

  • McGoohan had famously driven this vehicle (then a product of Lotus) in The Prisoner, and as part of his NEC appearance he was presented with one of the new models. He also agreed to be interviewed about the series.

  • With instructions that the interview and recording could be used in any way provided it was not used or released by any fan club for The Prisoner, journalist Howard Foy conducted an in-depth interview with Patrick for the debut issue of The Box magazine (which also appeared as Primetime Magazine issue 16).

  • Laying dormant on dictaphone cassette tape for more than 25 years, the recording was restored by legendary sound man Mark Ayres (Doctor Who) and was released on this CD for the first time in any format.
