Tracks 6, 7, 17, 29-40 Previously Unreleased. Back in the days of Troughton and Pertwee, I recorded Doctor Who soundtracks off-air on an archaic reel-to- reel tape recorder.

Two bars of Mark Ayres’ evocative score for Ghost Light can conjure more of the quintessential Dark Continent than twenty pages of waffle about natives, heat, and tsetse flies. Mark’s music is more than incidental and summons up all the light and attendant shadows of Gabriel Chase. One way or another, things evolve.
