Well, *I've* got a copy!

They were called "The Prisoners," presumably after the
Television series, and they've been a topic on this list before.
Nothing Ska about it...they were definitely a mod/power pop
take on classic R+B.

The album I have is "In From The Cold," and one of the tunes has
a rip of Spencer Davis' great tune, "I'm a Man" (which itself was
a pseudo-rip of a Hendrix tune), with the descending chromatic
organ line that jams hard, and as only JT or Winwood could play
it.

Well worth a listen, if you came to AJ from any sort of mod/postmod/
stylist scene.
