Doctor Who Demon Quest Red and Black Vinyl LP

Limited Boxset Includes Signed Tom Baker Print & 10LP’s on Red & Black 140-Gram Vinyl.

“Mrs Wibbsey, you may have done something absolutely catastrophic!”

For the first time on limited edition vinyl, Demon Records presents a second series of unique audio adventures starring Tom Baker as the Doctor, following the success of Doctor Who – Hornet’s Nest. Once again every copy includes an exclusive, frameable portrait of the Fourth Doctor, hand signed by Tom Baker himself – just one of the treats inside this stunningly designed package.

An intricately die-cut, removable outer sleeve reveals a Demonic lidded box, inside which are 10 individual, beautifully illustrated LP sleeves featuring full cast and credits for each of the five stories.

The Time Lord’s encounters with the mysterious Demon are detailed in The Doctor’s Journal, a large 16-page full colour booklet featuring notes and illustrations from this epic pursuit through Time.

Presented across 10 x 140g alternating Red and Black vinyl discs, this full-cast audio adventure by Paul Magrs stars Tom Baker as the Doctor, with Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey and Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.

The supporting cast includes Nigel Anthony, Samuel West, Jan Francis, Trevor White, Lorelei King and Finty Williams, and original sound design accompanies the familiar Doctor Who theme from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

    Bit of a shot in the dark, but thinking of buying this from HMV. Does anyone know if these will come with the signed print? Bit worried as I’ve seen a few comments saying that their sets haven’t come with anything. Cheers!

    Thanks for the original post on this. I secured a box set. Wasn’t quick dispatch but arrived in excellent condition and contact with them was good the twice I sent a message. Given comments on bent signature cards I opened and inspected everything. One of the albums had a scuff and scratch. I contacted Demon Records direct and they are looking to resolve it. Can’t think how much of a waste it would be to return a full box set for one damaged album.

    Still nothing for me. Ordered from the first batch on 31st and haven’t received it. Been told to wait another 48hours but looks like mine has gone into the time vortex.

      It’s a strange one that Chris. I saw your comment below and it seems you were one of the lucky ones to get your set posted straight away.
      It was 7 days before mine even got posted.

    • Chris

      June 9th, 2023 - 4:14pm

      Yes I thought it was great that it was posted so soon, but it seems it was a bad omen not a good one. They said they’ve chased it up and it should be arriving within the next 48 hours but seems a little odd. Perhaps it was marked as dispatched before actually being sent out. Fingers crossed.

    My Set has arrived complete and was sealed. Very pleased indeed with all of it.

    Not played any of the actual records yet but all seem clean with no damage or scratches. However not sure if anyone else’s set is the same but the colour of the records is wrong according to the photos in the ebay listing as well as in the photo above. In my set the 5 records that should be red are black and the 5 that should be black are red. Not a problem at all but just wondering if all the sets are like this so had to be repressed to be corrected hence a batch made which were incorrect colours for the records so they didn’t meet with Demon Records’ instructions and were given to the charity.

      Now I need to check. Was it supposed to be odds red and evens black, or vice versa?

    • Mr Greel

      June 9th, 2023 - 7:04pm

      Odds red (1st LP of each story) and evens black (2nd LP of each story).
      Promotion text above does state “Presented across 10 x 140g alternating Red and Black vinyl discs..” so does seem to indicate red first. (Presuming text is from Demon Records and not Boo boo).

    • Rory

      June 14th, 2023 - 3:04pm

      Finally got round to checking mine, and they are same as yours, with odds in black and evens in red.

      I’m wondering if anyone who bought the initial release can verify if theirs are the same. I mean, it would seem to me a strange reason to dump an entire batch if they were just coloured the wrong way around. I could see it more if they used the wrong colours altogether.

    Just got mine. Looks awesome. The signed sheet was folded from the top, not sure if that’s normal but otherwise it was sealed and looks amazing. Glad to have something signed by the great Tom Baker!

      My Sets Just Arrived at 1.00. The LPs were Well packed and I’m very happy with the Set as it’s arrived in Excellent Condition.

      However There was No Print inside. So I’ve missed out on the Tom Baker Signature. ( The main Reason I’ve been buying these sets).

      As anyone else Recieved there’s without the Print included?.

    • Coleman

      June 9th, 2023 - 1:26pm

      Hello I’m Batman,
      What do you mean by the print was Folded from the Top?

    • Rory

      June 9th, 2023 - 4:26pm

      @Coleman, mine had the autographed print.

      Whole reason I bought it as I’m not a huge fan of the story and don’t even have a record player.

    • I’m Batman

      June 9th, 2023 - 4:56pm

      @Coleman I mean like the top of it was folded backwards a bit like it was folded in to the top space of the inside if that makes sense. Assassins creed grip style if that makes sense. I’m rubbish with describing things.

    • Coleman

      June 9th, 2023 - 4:57pm

      Yeah, I’ve a record player, and I admit I like these Coloured Vinyls for there Novelty. But with These Tom Baker sets it was the Signed Prints that made me bite. ( I would probably have framed it and put on the wall).

    • Coleman

      June 9th, 2023 - 5:00pm

      Ok, Thanks I’m Batman.
      So the print wasn’t mint Condition. (Had abit of creasing)?

    • I’m Batman

      June 12th, 2023 - 9:52am

      Yeah @Coleman not completely mint. Probably it was originally packed a bit wrong. Little shame but not end of the world.
      Btw I think my first LP is black and 2nd is red.
      Does this mean we all have rare variants

    • Rory

      June 14th, 2023 - 3:12pm

      “Does this mean we all have rare variants”?

      Sure hope so. Will add to my collection of variants and misprints, like my copy of Head Games with two copies of the same thirty pages (instead of 4-70, 70-100 it goes 70-100, 70-100), and my Five Doctors with the misaligned silver foil cover, among others.

      I don’t even seek these out. They just seem to gravitate towards me.

    • Coleman

      June 14th, 2023 - 5:11pm

      Yeah, I know what you mean Rory. My Demon Quest set came without the Signed Tom Baker print. I’m sending it back. Scopes already sent me a Scanning Code For a Freepost returns label

      Yes, me aswell Rick. I Ordered on the 1st of June and still hasn’t been Despatched. So I’ve Emailed them Twice and hadn’t had a reply yet.
      I decided to look at there Feedback and it seems to happen alot were people are leaving Feedback that the Item wasnt in stock and “Eventually”Recieved a Refund.
      Also Plenty of Feedback says there Communication is Terrible.
      I’m not Amused.

    • Coleman

      June 6th, 2023 - 11:30am

      Sorry, it was also the 31st of May that I ordered the set. (Just noticed my Comment below).
      I don’t mind the delay as such as I know nothing goes to plan.
      I just wish they would Email me and give me a rough idea when it will be posted.

    • AlbertoFrog

      June 6th, 2023 - 4:05pm

      It’s starting to look to me like they’ve oversold this. Perhaps mixed up between the number of auctions and the number of items on each auction. Some of them were for multiple items, some were for just one. Messy. Still, should be obvious to them so perhaps just tell us/refund our money. Not that that is an ideal outcome, given the savings we thought we’d made here.

    • booboo

      June 6th, 2023 - 4:26pm

      would be disappointing, with ebay the amount available is very easy to set so no excuse for over selling.

    • AlbertoFrog

      June 6th, 2023 - 4:40pm

      Agreed, booboo, which is why I think there’s been some mixup between number of auctions and number of items. They get, let’s say, six copies to sell on one day. Perhaps a couple of people are responsible for posting the listings – possible, as different images were used for different listings – one of whom creates seperate listings for each one, and the other creates a listing for the total number of copies in one (this is how they looked) Therefore the multiple copy auction listing will be selling the same copies as the individual ones, though the number of listings in total matches the number of copies. It *feels* like that’s what’s happened here, and the lack of reponses and previous feedback complaining of no item/cancellations, seems to indicate they have an issue staying on top of things. We’ll see…

    • booboo

      June 6th, 2023 - 4:46pm

      will see what happens, they relisted more after selling out of the original 50+ spread over several listings so i just hope all is well.

    • Mr Greel

      June 7th, 2023 - 9:59am

      Ordered mine on 01/06 too. Have just received despatch email so hopefully ok.

    • Coleman

      June 7th, 2023 - 11:19am

      I still haven’t received a Despatch Email yet so I don’t know why it’s taking so long.
      Did you buy a Copy aswell Booboo?

    • Rory

      June 7th, 2023 - 11:23am

      I’ve just had my dispatch confirmation from eBay after buying from the second tranche on 01/06, so looks like they’re starting to send those out now.

    • AlbertoFrog

      June 7th, 2023 - 12:58pm

      I bought from the first lot on 31st May. No dispatch or reply to my query yet. So it is quite concerning to hear that later orders are being dispatched (and in some cases received). Fingers crossed though.

    • Chris

      June 7th, 2023 - 2:59pm

      Ordered mine on the 31st. Dispatched on the 2nd and still nothing yet. Tried contacting today but no reply.

      June 7th, 2023 - 6:26pm
