The greatest british tv series ever made. The greatest soundtrack to a british tv series ever made. When will this ever be released on CD? Come on film score monthly, please get this released. Ken Thorne rules.
There have been rumours that Persuaders! incidental music will come out on cd, but sadly the tapes have been misplaced! So until someone finds them, we'll have to watch more episodes... :P
It is sad that they made only one series, but then again we don't have to suffer the characters getting tired and stories bad. :)
imagine an orchestra play Ken Thorne's music from the Persuaders! where you sit outside having a picnic and enjoy both the beautiful nature and this wonderful music live...Wow!.- l agree, we want the Cd now
enfin ! Comment le travail de Ken Thorne sur Amicalement Vôtre a t'il pu être ignoré à ce point. John Barry d'accord, mais c'est Ken qui fait toute l'ambiance.
I too was aware the music was great even back then when I was a child. 1rst the chilling overture by J.Barry, then Ken's music with all those catchy tunes. Many of them could have been sung by pop bands. That is so true that even the suspense parts were catchy. The dreamy xylophone, bongos, flute, deep bass and the edgy guitar... Classic. To me Ken Thorne should be celebrated as he deserves it. Please mr Thorne, Like thousands of fans, I can't wait for the cd. I NEED to listen to them all.
Great score by Ken Thorne, the composer of INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU (1968), SUPERMAN 2 (1980), SUPERMAN 3 (1983) and HELP-THE BEATLES SCORE (1965) and finally, MURPHY'S WAR (1971). No doubts about the great composer than is KEN THORNE.
I agree with esser! Network have released cd's of Randal & Hopkirk and Man in suitcase most recently, but Ken Thornes' Persuaders! was best! A classic for a timeless, classic show!
tellement de souvenirs ! La musique de Ken Thorne est aussi puissante que celle de Barry. Mr Thorne, your incental music is as powerful as Mr Barry's theme ! Thanks for all this pleasure and let's hope that somehow you will be able to compil a cd soundtrack !!!!!
Most remarkable audio cutting. Fortunatly I do recall from ear each segment cut. It's garnd at most, the best audio been compiled so far, you have the original tapes or the boxed set? It's a grand cut for us! Cheers Mate!
Many thanks to all of you for your super comments on the music for "The Persuaders." It was all written in 1971 and I had over four hours of music in my library at the end of the series!! John Barry was responsible for me getting the job. (We had the same agent!!) I've had many requests for a CD of the score from quite a few countries. I'm still trying to find any tapes that might exist. I haven't given up hope. I'll be happy to answer any queries you may have. Ken Thorne.
What inspired you? Did you see some Persuaders footage? or read the manuscript for the tv-series, or were you influence by Roger Moore and Tony Cutis personalities?
The Cd score sounds great, I would love to have that! best of luck of finding the tapes!
Ken, it's an honor. Nice work!! I put up the opening on youtube some time back. Tons of accolades from long time fans as well as those just hearing/seeing for the 1st time. I didn't realize you were here on youtube, AND with this great stuff. Outstanding! You certainly did a marvelous job on a very well-loved program and we appreciate it. You literally set the 'tone' for the series. Some of your nightclub music reminds me of Barry's treatment of the nightclub music in The Public Eye.
Thanks for the music Ken....whenever I watched these programmes I always was aware of the cool sounds in the background- added very much to the enjoyment. Hope you're able to put some of this music out. All the best. Imani, Bradford U.K.
It should be on a bloody CD !!!

The music from 1'38 to 2'41 is a track from the Chappell music library called "Groovy City" (not by Ken Thorne).
