Album Description
*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.

Customer Reviews

Finally - a proper album of THE PROFESSIONALS music!
About the only criticism that I can make of this set - the second in the series of Laurie Johnson recordings - is that the first disc, which is slections of music score from THE PROFESSIONALS tv series, is in mono only. It's a shame, but a minor criticism.

This set is a great overview once more of Laurie Johnson's varied output, but I think it will be THE PROFESSIONALS that is the big draw here, as the contents of the other two CDs in the set consist in the main of previously-released material. But, its all GOOD material, featuring a selection of Johnson's feature film scores, and some of his best known theme tunes. His concert hall in particular is always worth hearing- mixing jazz and classic in the inimitable Laurie Johnson style.

And to cap it all, 78 minutes of music from THE PROFESSIONALS. 70's TV scoring at its funkiest. If you like noodling electric guitars, plenty of bass guitar and some very deep and punchy drums, liberally flavoured with brass and latin percussion, this music is for you.

I very much hope THE NEW AVENGERS is next in line for this treatment, but I hope too that Mr Johnson and the Edsel team can maybe give us another volume of THE PROFESSIONALS as well.

Copious notes complete the package in well illustrated booklets. 3 discs for an extremely reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Poor sound quality !!!
I mainly bought this CD because of the music to the "professionals" series, and what a bad surprise to realise that the recording is in mono and that it has the quality level of bad mp3's... therefore i don't need to buy the CD... sorry, although i love the music, i don't need music in that poor recording quality... :-(

CI5. Gordon Jackson, Martin Shaw, Lewis Collins and Laurie Johnson.
These are the Professionals. Take away anyone of the above names and this TV show would not have lasted as long as it did. I love this series and now that the music is here on CD well I just hope that some DVD company finds the original negatives, restores, remasters and adds extras to a future DVD box set...wow, dream come true for The Professionals fans..
