In 1964 Decca, under license from the BBC brought out the original version of the series theme tune, composed by Ron Grainer and realised by the Radiophonic Workshop. From there a number of recordings were made by actors / actresses on the show, plus other spin offs by groups or composers linking their recordings to the show by theme or title. RPM's album collects all these strands together! This is a companion album to the major release programme the BBC have undertaken releasing all the incidental and background music from the TV series and films.) For example - The Go Go's brought out this novelty disc with a girl singer and Dalek voices in between. The Earthlings - first copies of this were banned by BBC Radio as they contained the SOS message in morse. Maclcom Lockyer Orchestra - this was a single that sampled music from the Dr Who & The Daleks film. Roberta Tovey was the actress playing the young girl in the film Dr Who & The Daleks. Frazer Hines played Jamie in the TV series during the late 1960's - Hartnell in to Troughton time. Jon Pertwee - as well known doctor of the early 70's All selections are well known to Dr Who collectors, they have been the subject of chapters in books on Dr Who and trading lists for vinyl collectors. RPM's album is the first time these have been collected together for mainstream consumption. It is anticipated that a second volume will follow up this release, covering the next decade of spin offs. These projects are put together by Dr Who music expert Mark Ayres who has in turn written and recorded music for the TV series and overseen the BBC reissue programme.
