5.0 out of 5 stars A time capsule from the '60s 14 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
When the Go Go's (not the Belinda Carlisle lot, mind) joined the Christmas '64 festivities by releasing a single about the Daleks, the fearsome race of legless monsters from TV's Doctor Who, they probably thought it would be played a maximum of eight times by bored DJs across the country, inbetween cheesy covers of Jingle Bells. You have to wonder what they'd have said if they had been told that the throwaway novelty track would be digitally remastered and released on a collector's CD thirty-six years on...

Opening with the original BBC theme single and launching straight into a painful orchestral rendition from early 1964 (which has been available for years on budget TV Theme collections), this hour-long disc will hopefully be the first of many Doctor Who compilations. Artists as diverse as The Human League, The KLF and Orbital have payed their affectionate musical tribute to the show, with actors from the series and '60s colour movies occasionally aiming for the charts, too.

This CD showcases the singles released between '64 and '72, when unknown bands such as The Jack Dorsey Orchestra and The Earthlings tried to cash-in on the show's success by putting the word "Dalek" in the title of their latest easy-listening number.

Among the gems you'll want to hear more than once are the tie-in tracks from the aforementioned colour movies: rearranged incidental music from Dr. Who And The Daleks (1965) and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150AD (1966) and a novelty song called "Who's Who" sung by their 11 year old star, Roberta Tovey. There's also the Jon Pertwee classic "Who Is The Doctor" from 1972, and an unreleased track by Frazer Hines, who played Jamie next to Patrick Troughton's Time Lord....

But possibly the best track of all is the Doctor Who theme as performed by Don Harper's Homo Electronicus, a laid-back affair with jazz piano and a quiant brass section - undoubtedly lounge music at its best.

Every track is as cheesy as brie, and although the spirit of the TV series might not be present, the essence of childhood certainly is. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars typically '60's, typically grows on you, typically fantastic 28 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
The music style of the frazer hines and roberta tovey songs are typical of the swinging sixties which makes them rather endearing in a nostalgic way. You find yourself singing along with them in the car, or in the house, even when the tape, or cd, is not being played. The non-related who tracks are slow to catch on with as the only reason they are included is that they are performed by one of the actors, or have the word 'dalek' on it. I searched for weeks in the shops but managed to get it from Amazon - worth the wait? yes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must have' CD!!! 4 May 2002
By Paul Smith
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have just received this CD from Amazon, and I am blown away with the recordings on it.

There are lots of 1960's songs which capture the Daleks most popular era perfectly. The packaging is great with a fold out poster style insert with lots of interesting paraphenalia on it.

Highlights include;
Who is the Doctor? - by Jon Pertwee
Who's Who - by Roberta Tovey
and
Time Traveller - by Frazer Hines

This is jam packed with Rare and Classic 'Who' music. The price at Amazon is superb value.

If you want to remenisce back to Dr. Who's hayday this is the CD to do it with.
