DOCTOR WHO - RESCUE (RSD 2026 RED VINYL LP) | NEW

Brand new for Record Store Day 2026, a narrated TV soundtrack of the 1965 serial starring William Hartnell as the Doctor. Comprising two episodes, The Powerful Enemy and Desperate Measures, the story features the debut of companion Vicki, played by Maureen O'Brien who now provides newly recorded linking narration and a bonus behind-the-scenes interview. The Doctor, Ian (William Russell) and Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) discover a crashed spaceship on the planet Dido in the 25th Century. Survivors Vicki and Bennett are menaced by a terrifying native named Koquillion - or are they? The travellers risk their lives to discover the truth. Sixty years after it's original broadcast, The Rescue is presented for the first time on 140g 'Rescue Red' translucent vinyl in a beautifully illustrated outer sleeve depicting Koquillion, plus an illustrated inner sleeve which includes full cast and credits.
