Destiny of the Daleks Vinyl
The Doctor and a newly-regenerated Romana arrive on Skaro to find that The Daleks are using explosive charges and a group of humanoid slave workers to mine the planet in search of their creator, Davros. A stalemate has arisen in an interplanetary war that The Daleks are waging against the robotic Movellans, and their hope is that Davros will be able to give them the edge.
A force of Movellans has also arrived on Skaro, determined to thwart The Daleks‘ plan. Davros is found in the ruins of the old Kaled city and immediately revives, his life support systems having held him in suspended animation since his apparent death. He quickly deduces that the battle computers of the two warring races are locked in a logical stalemate and that he can break this by introducing an element of intuition.
The Movellans, having reached the same conclusion, want The Doctor to do likewise for them. Davros attempts to destroy the Movellan ship using a suicide squad of Daleks loaded with bombs, but The Doctor returns to the Kaled city and tricks him into inadvertently detonating them before they reach their target.
The Movellans are deactivated and Davros is cryogenically frozen on board their ship until the freed slave workers can take him to Earth and ensure that he is put on trial for his crimes.

Doctor Who – Destiny of the Daleks: (Limited to 2500 copies)
Presented across 2 x Heavyweight 180g pieces of Red with Blue Splatter Vinyl, this narrated soundtrack evokes a classic Doctor Who adventure in all its aural magnificence. From the eerie sonics of Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire’s theme tune, and the familiar ‘wheezing, groaning’ of the TARDIS, through to the bass thrum of the Daleks’ headquarters, and their clamorous shriek of “Exterminate! Exterminate!” the story is alive with weird and wonderful sound.
Add to that the sparkling dialogue of a script written by Terry Nation and script edited by Douglas Adams, and you have 2 hours of joyful sci-fi entertainment. Linking narration is provided by Lalla Ward (Romana) and the cast includes David Gooderson as Davros, Tim Barlow as Tyssan, Peter Straker as Commander Sharrel and Suzanne Danielle as Agella.
Exclusive to Record Store Day 2019, Demon Music presents a narrated full-cast soundtrack adventure starring Tom Baker as The Doctor, pitted against his arch-enemies The Daleks and their wizened creator, Davros. In this thrilling 4 part adventure, first shown on BBC in September 1979, The Daleks return to their home planet Skaro, scene of their defeat at the hand of The Doctor (Tom Baker) in Genesis of the Daleks. What – or who – have they returned for?
It soon becomes apparent that the ruthless scientist Davros, creator of the Daleks, may not be as dead as The Doctor assumed. When Romana (Lalla Ward) falls into the hands of the Daleks themselves, a life and death struggle begins to divert The Doctor’s adversaries from their self-proclaimed destiny.
