THE MUSIC OF LAURIE JOHNSON VOL. 2:
THE PROFESSIONALS
50 YEARS OF THE MUSIC OF
LAURIE JOHNSON VOL: 1
THE AVENGERS
[EDSD 2017]
• Laurie Johnson is responsible for some of the best-loved TV themes ever: “The Professionals”, “The Avengers”, “Top Secret”,
“Echo Four Two”, “Animal Magic” and “This Is Your Life”, to name but a few. But in his long career he has also written many film
scores, classical works and suites for military bands.
• Following on from the great success of “The Avengers” 3 CD set, this is the second volume in a series collecting together Laurie’s
extraordinarily varied output. As with Volume 1, this set is compiled, fully annotated and mastered from the original mastertapes by
Laurie Johnson himself, and packaged with photos from his own collection.
• Disc 1 contains seventy-eight minutes of music from the TV series “The Professionals” (currently showing eight times a week on ITV
4 until 2010), which aside from the theme tune, makes its debut on CD.
• Disc 2 features Laurie’s fabulous themes for TV shows and his film scores, along with some early singles and his orchestral concert
hall work “Concerto for Trumpet, Tenor Sax and Orchestra”. Disc 3 collects some more of his adventurous works for military bands,
including “The Battle Of Waterloo”, with narration by Lord Bernard Miles.
