Oh, this is very welcome news! After very much enjoying Demon Records recent vinyl release of Doctor Who: Demon Quest (reviewed here) and Serpent Crest (review here), it’s very exciting to hear that The Tom Baker Record Collection is coming to a Limited Edition release this 15 September, and is available to pre-order now.

“My life is an endless journey across the bounds of Space and Time…”

With a run of just 600 and each including a signed print from Tom Baker, Demon Records are truly celebrating Mr Baker’s unique portrayal of the famous Time Lord, almost 50 years after he made his debut in the role, and the 4-LP vinyl box set mixes thrilling audio drama with interviews and readings by the man himself.

Genesis of the Daleks is the original 1979 album version of the legendary TV serial, whilst Doctor Who and the Pescatons the made-for-vinyl audio drama first released in 1976. Exploration Earth: The Time Machine is an adventure specially produced by BBC Schools Radio in 1976, and State of Decay is a unique audiobook reading from 1982. The collection is completed by a selection of BBC radio interviews with Tom Baker ‘in his own words‘ made in the 1970s and 1980s.

As you can see, presented inside an eye-catching Fourth Doctor O-ring sleeve, this Dalek-fronted quadpack design houses 4 x 140g LPs in Orange, Green, Blue & Red vinyl, each with full cast & credits and its own brand new graphic design.

Every copy of this release also includes an exclusive, frameable photograph of the Fourth Doctor, hand signed by Tom Baker himself. Co-starring Elisabeth Sladen, Ian Marter, Bill Mitchell and John Westbrook, and accompanied by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s familiar Doctor Who theme, these dramas, readings and interviews are a fitting way to celebrate one of the most celebrated Doctors of all – and in this 60th year of celebrations!
