User:Etron81/sandbox/List of Doctor Who Audio Releases

Since the 1970s, there have been many official and unofficial Doctor Who and related spin-offs released on audio, as LPs, audio cassettes, audio CDs and MP3 CDs. Recordings here are listed by their original release date. Original audio plays by Big Finish Productions are listed separately here.

Television Soundtracks

In 1966, an abridged recording of episode 6 of The Chase was released with narration on a 7" record. In 1979 the BBC released an abridged version of Genesis of the Daleks. In 1992 a brief series began releasing audio versions of missing stories from the archives, with link narration provided by one of the actors who played the Doctor. The soundtracks that were known to exist at the time were not the optimal audio quality and the range only released a few stories. A second series of "Lost Episode" soundtrack releases began in 1999. This series differed from earlier releases by having "linking" narration (i.e. narration to describe action and other sequences that were originally visual) read by an actor or actress who had played a companion in the original serial, rather than one of the actors who played the Doctor (with the exception of The Macra Terror, which used the original narration by Colin Baker). Another difference is that all of the later releases were remastered for release by Mark Ayres from tapes recorded "off-air" at the original time of broadcast, or, when necessary due to quality and possible due to availability, from surviving films. From 1999–2004 these recordings were released under the "BBC Radio Collection" banner, and starting in 2004 they have been released under the "BBC Audio" banner, with a slightly different look to the outer case packaging. The series was officially completed in 2006 with the release of The Reign of Terror, however, a rerelease of the soundtrack for The Tomb of the Cybermen was produced, and was followed by new audio productions of available serials. All have been released by the BBC unless otherwise noted.
