THE DALEKS MINI-ALBUM - 21 MINUTES OF ADVENTURE...


Copyright BBC TV

The Daleks mini album by Century 21 (released in 1966) comes in two versions.  The first contains The Eric Winston Orchestra's version of the Doctor Who theme and the BBC Tardis sound effect.  It was soon withdrawn and a second version was issued, without the theme tune or Tardis tones, presumably due to copyright or money reasons.  The second version has electronic-type sound by The Barry Gray Orchestra, and is, I'd say, the better of the two presentations.  It's supposedly more easily available than the first release, which is considered the rarer of the two, though I've only ever seen the first version on sale on ebay, never the second one.

Anyway, you're looking at my very own record (well, the cover anyway) which arrived at Castel Crivens today, so that's another item I've always wanted to own ticked off the list.  One day, I'll maybe record it and post it on the blog, but in the meantime, below (after the back cover) is the second version from YouTube
