I have found a few more tracks and will do another blog post soon. Can't find any of the comedy ones referred to in the previous posts though.

Thanks for re-upping these, John.

EDIT: That upbeat one at the end of Kirren Island and Smugglers Top is still baffling us!

Nice to see a familiar face here!
The light- heartted one? Struggles to find any comic ones other than the Foiled ones by Bennett. I have all the Bruton Comedy and Children LPs and don't recognise any.

Ah yes, retro - in fact it may have been this site that originally led me to your blogs!

Watching the second series, there are a few more tracks introduced - most of which are also recognisable to Prisoner viewers. Some of the familiar tracks from series one such as Montego Bay and Halcyon Days take more of a back seat.

I will try to make a list of all the tracks I recognise so hopefully one day we will have as complete a list as possible.

I've found 47 tracks so far- 22 from series 1 and 25 different tracks in series 2, that were not used in the first. New tracks are coming thick and fast. I think I'm at the start of disc 5 so should get beyond 50 tracks.
Didn't find the jig where Charlie's being chased, but did find the Dixie rag track as they arrive at the circus plot.

46 - Nerve Centre - John Scott
47 - Static Time - John Scott
48 - Easy Rock Feel - Eric Allen

50 - Long Deep Roll - Eric Allen
51 - Revolving Patterns - Keith Mansfield
52 - Darkside - Brian Bennett
53 - Important Project Link 2 - Keith Mansfield
54 - Pendulum 1 - Steve Gray

I think 'In Danger (link)' also appears toward the end of Series 2. In the original compilation there was also 'In Pursuit' and 'Heavy Traffic' but I don't think I heard either in any episode. 'In Pursuit' sounds like 'Fragments of Fear' which may be why someone listed it previously.
There are stil none of the comic, lighter tracks- not found those. Plus there is one or two I need to double check that they are the right track- some sound very similar.

By the way, what's happened to your blog? It seems to be offline.
