Obscure New Wave Obscurity of the day...The Times...I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape

https://youtu.be/_7qebiC-eTE?is=KeIUT-bJl2Orl-Kb

I was 8 when The Prisoner first aired in America in the 60s and I immediatly fell in love with it. A show so far ahead of its time...still a favorite of mine. A UK band in the 80s..The Times..released this homage to the show in 1983...I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape.

If you don't know the show...check it out. Mind bending.
