• Track Listing

Laurie Johnson will forever be associated with that magical, but all too brief, period in British cultural history when everything seemed possible and one cannot imagine "The Avengers" without his memorable music. The centerpiece of our collection is the extraordinarily powerful, original stereo recording of the 'Avengers Theme', a '60s melody that ranks with 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Good Vibrations' for timeless period class and ensuring popularity. The emphasis of our compilation is on Johnson music that Steed and Mrs. Peel might personally have enjoyed whilst off duty and there's a real Saville Row, Man About Town quality to the program of suave orchestral themes and cool jazz. Johnson's themes for Stanley Kubrick's 'Dr Strangelove' and for 'Whicker's World' are also included. El. 2007.
