RSD 2026 The Rescue Vinyl LP
For more information visit www.recordstoreday.co.uk
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 its 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.

February 5th, 2026 - 10:46amAs ever, these Demon/BBC releases have the most gorgeous covers .Never one to be let down. We have gone from beautiful art,to graphic design,a blip with photo covers and back to amazing Art. Oink,Dare,project 16,all delivering .
This is even a newly recorded narration with Maureen O’brien, so a CD is due to at some point (its been listed at A few other country websites)
I adore these releases and actually listen to them far more often then the CDs of old (or new in this case)
Now to get one,without the Daft Ebay prices 20 mins after RSD starts.
