The Prisoner Music Archive

Section Four

Discography and information on recordings
related to the series

Only tracks actually used in episodes of The Prisoner or tracks 100% related to Prisoner concepts are noted in the table below. Material which stands in it's own right but which contains Prisoner references as a small proportion of it is listed seperately. The albums, maxi singles and B sides obviously contain other material (some including the "Dangerman" theme) but this is not pertinent to the list. Full content details of the soundtrack albums can be found in section 2.

Some tracks, such as the Ron Grainer "orchestral" theme and the Carmen Miranda song (originally recorded around 1939) will have appeared several times over the years as re-issues or on compilations. The details which follow reflect the ones I know about - if you have any information on other releases, please let me know so they can be added.

Where possible I've included the name of the producer of the track. This is either the producer of the original recording session or, in the case of compilations, the name of the person or persons who were the prime movers in getting the compilation done.

There are still a lot of facts, dates and other details to fill in here. If you have any more information I'd appreciate updates, additions or corrections. Many thanks.
