Description
Doctor Who Revenge Of The Cybermen was the season 12 finale first broadcast on April 19th, 1975. As with so much television music of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the original master tapes of Carey Blytons score for Revenge of the Cybermen were not retained. The only surviving copy is a set of four 7, 7.5ips composers copy domestic 14inch tape. It is from those digital transfers that this release is taken. Sadly, and to Careys obvious and understandable disappointment, the completed music did not meet with the complete approval of the production team, and much of it was not used. Peter Howell of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop added some electronic embellishments and arranged some additional cues for parts two and three but some of that was also left on the proverbial cutting room floor. For this release, Careys original score is presented and heard here for the first time as written. This is followed by the additional, alternative, and enhanced cues, all of which were also on Carey Blytons tapes.
