Notes

  • This was the first ever Prisoner original soundtrack release, issued by Bam-Caruso Records of St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

  • All tracks by Albert Elms except: Tracks A1, B1 and B12 (Ron Grainer), A2 and A4 (Wilfred Josephs), A3 (Johann Strauss I), B6 and B7 (Georges Bizet, arranged by Albert Elms) and B8 (Vivaldi, arranged by Albert Elms).

  • This release was a co-production between Bam-Caruso Records and the Six of One Prisoner Appreciation Society in association with ITC Entertainment.

  • This LP was issued in several variants, the earliest of which were available exclusively through Six of One. These came with an unusual and well thought out gatefold front cover (see images above for a demonstration) and included a 24-page book, The Making of The Prisoner, a printed sleeve (pictured below) and a Village Map (pictured right).
