Product Description

Product Description

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who, this 2 CD release looks back through the radio archives and highlights the wide variety of Doctor Who features and interviews which have been broadcast over the years. Dozens of extracts - many of which have been unheard since their first broadcast - illustrate how the programme has been a national institution, held in fond regard by adults and children alike. Amongst those featured are Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Terry Nation, K9 and, of course, the Daleks. Also included is a one-hour documentary tracing the series' first thirty years, narrated by Nicholas Courtney.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold on for an Audio Adventure in Space and Time!, 20 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 1: The Early Years 1963-1969 (Audio CD)
This is a brilliant selection of many of the unearthly sound effects which were so essential to the success of the 60s Doctor Who adventures.

Highlights must be the superb swirling Dalek City sounds, the full TARDIS take-off and the various versions of the original "Who" theme tune, but there are countless other atmospheric tracks. Radiophonic Workshop "guardian" Mark Ayres has done a fantastic job in finding and restoring these cues to their present quality. There are also a few tantalizing segments of Dudley Simpson's early incidental music using the BBC's electronic organ and synthesizers.

Forget the repetitive and unimaginative sounds of Star Trek: The Next Money Grabbing Franchise, these are truly the most original and otherworldly special sounds you are likey to hear.

I highly recommend this release, and also its sequel, volume 2!

4.0 out of 5 stars sound effects and theme music, 13 Jun 2000
This review is from: Dr Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 1: The Early Years 1963-1969 (Audio CD)
Musician Mark Ayres has been working with the BBC on remastering a number of audio releases, as well as researching and cataloguing the output of the Radiophonic Workshop. There's little in the way of actual music by the Workshop from this time though Ayres has unearthered different and unreleased, albeit similar, variants on the theme music and a large number of background sound effects - some familiar, others less so. How about recreating a Dalek control room in your own bedroom - or perhaps a very unusual dinner party ambience!

5.0 out of 5 stars The real deal, 26 April 2008
By C. Copp (Exeter, Devonshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Dr Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 1: The Early Years 1963-1969 (Audio CD)
Listening to the original Dr Who theme on this compilation as originally intended by Delia Derbyshire et al made me realise why I do not like the present version of Who. New iWho s facile and flashy...too smooth and mechanical, whereas old Who was very organic....it was genuinely scarey & Delia's theme reflects this, the new synthed up theme is just plain awful. Buying this CD lead me further down the rabbit hole that is Delia's life...fascinating!

It should be called a sound effects CD as there are only a few pieces of music, and mostly the Who theme from the two different Doctors of the time. Read more
