More Info
The Prisoners were a regular live act in London's psychedelic and mod revival scene of the early 1980s.
They recorded some fantastic material blending garage- punk, soulful vocals, and
electrifying Hammond organ, but never quite made it. They called it a day in 1986, and
most band members went on with new musical projects, including The Prime Movers
and The James Taylor Quartet. The love of the Prisoners' music has grown ever since
though, and the original four members have done several re-unions over the years on
stage and released a long-awaited comeback album this year. Their lasting infuence
can be detected on subsequent generations of musicians, including many of the
Madchester bands of the early 90s, notably the Charlatans and the Inspiral Carpets,
and serves as a blueprint for Britpop and beyond. Now we release The Prisoner's best
songs on the LP Hurricane with great packaging, liner notes and rare photos.
