Doctor Who at the BBC: A Legend Reborn AudioGo
11/02/2010 AudioGo UK
Audio CD presented by Elisabeth Sladen. The CD was due to be released by BBC Audiobooks on Thursday 21 January 2010. However, when compiling the master tape a small amount of material was included for which BBC Audiobooks were unable to obtain clearance. As a result the disc was recalled. A small number of discs were distributed before the problem was realised.
There are a number of ways to distinguish between the two different versions, although it's not in any way evident from the outer packaging or insert booklet that anything has changed. Firstly, the total running times for CD1 are different: 52' 54" for the January 2010 version, and 51' 04" for the February 2010 re-release. Secondly, the production codes on the ring around the central hub on the playing side of CD1 are also different: "A0101468335-0102 15" for the January release, and "A0101510821-0102 15" for the February re-release.
The four edited tracks on CD1 are as follows:
- Track 2 (Oneclick) - 4' 28" (originally 5' 41")
- Track 4 (PM) - 1' 15" (1' 22")
- Track 6 (PM) - 2' 45" (3' 08")
- Track 7 (Newsbeat) - 1' 44" (1' 51")
