Danger Man Hour Long Episodes Original Soundtrack

|
Never previously released and compiled from the original master tapes, this five-CD set comprises Edwin Astley’s distinctive theme and incidental scores for Danger Man, containing almost 400 pieces of music which were especially composed for the series. With the distinctive harpsichord lead, the tunes and melodies whisk John Drake into fresh danger in colourful locations: the back streets of Arabia, the jungles around Delhi, a fishing village suspiciously close to Albania, the desert town of Beth’ja’brin, a peaceful Scottish island, an emergent African nation, the riot-torn Caribbean, the neon streets of Tokyo, a French château, a bizarre English town behind the Iron Curtain ... or the very heart of London just as the Sixties started to swing. Including extensive liner notes from archive television historian Andrew Pixley, this set is an essential purchase for all ITC aficionados.
Some of the original audio tapes for Shinda Shima are unfortunately damaged, resulting in several tracks where the resultant recording is noticeably inferior to the rest of the music. No restoration work has been carried out on these tracks and they are presented ‘as is’ for reference only.

Danger Man: Original Soundtrack Highlights
|
|
Throughout the 1960s and '70s ITC produced some of the most successful filmed action series ever made. Watched the world over and still shown on television to this day, their release on DVD has ensured that these series will continue to be watched for decades to come. One of the key elements of their success is undoubtedly the music, which was specially composed for each series - from the immediately recognisable and iconic theme tunes to the suites of memorable incidental compositions - which veered from cool jazz through syncopated mood music to ethereal string compositions, dependent on the demands of the plot that week!
Never previously released in this format and compiled from the original master tapes, this set contains highlights from Danger Man.
