Notes
Following on from their first Laurie Johnson compilation containing the previously unreleased music from The Avengers TV show, Demon Edsel do what we were all praying they would and release 50 Years of the Music of Laurie Johnson Volume 2 containing the previously unreleased music from another cult TV show, The Professionals.
Disc 1 contains seventy-eight minutes of music from the The Professionals soundtrack. 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.
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.
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.
