Who is Dr Who

 A new Doctor Who related audio CD is to be released by RPM, a division of Cherry Red Records in November.

Audio - Who is Dr Who
Who is Dr Who
 "Who is Dr Who" is a collection of spin-off records originally released during the 1960s and 1970s, including "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek" by The Go Go's. Recordings by actors Jon Pertwee ("Who Is The Doctor?"), Roberta Tovey ("Who's Who") and Frazer Hines ("Who's Dr Who?") are also included.

 The disc has been compiled and produced by Mark Ayres, who has overseen the re-mastering for CD from a variety of sources. This is very likely to be the first volume of Doctor Who inspired pop records as stated by Mark Ayres:

"Many television programmes inspire the record industry to put needle to wax, but few do so to the extent that Doctor Who has done, and there is an enormous catalogue of disks celebrating (or affectionately mocking) the programme. The theme music itself is one of the most-covered in TV history and in compiling this disc we eventually had to limit ourselves to the period from 1964 to 1973, realising that, while we present nearly an hour of material, we have only scratched the surface. A second volume must surely follow!"

 It comes complete with a lavishly illustrated poster inlay and comprehensive notes and includes the following 18 tracks:

1 Doctor Who (Original Theme) - BBC Radiophonic Workshop
2 Dr. Who - Eric Winstone and his Orchestra
3 I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek - The Go Go's
