Four Classic Fourth Doctor Stories to be Released on Vinyl (Signed by Tom Baker)

Demon Records is set to release a special limited edition boxset of Fourth Doctor adventures on vinyl, signed by the man himself, Tom Baker!

Limited to just 600, the set is comprised of four 140g LPs in orange, green, blue, and 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.

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

Co-starring Elisabeth Sladen, Ian Marter, Bill Mitchell, and John Westbrook, there’s how the stories are spread across the four vinyls:

  • LP1 Genesis of the Daleks.
  • LP2 Doctor Who and the Pescatons.
  • LP3 Exploration Earth: The Time Machine (and a selection of BBC radio interviews with Tom Baker made in the 1970s and 1980s).
  • LP4 State of Decay.

You can pre-order the set now, but be fast because only 600 are being made.
