  1. ^ This recording was not featured in Doctor Who and was included only because of inaccurate or incomplete documentation. 'Bathysphere' does not appear in 'the Space Museum' or any other 'Doctor Who' story. Its inclusion here was because of a mix up - 'Bathysphere' is the B-side of MQ 759 whereas it was a brief section of the A-side, 'Aliens', that was used in the episode (played at near-half speed over the film insert of Vicki's glass reassembling). Whoever compiled the PasB for the episode simply wrote down the title from the wrong side of the disc.[1]
  2. ^ This recording was not featured in Doctor Who and was included only because of inaccurate or incomplete documentation. 'Blast Off' is a distinctive track and is clearly not used in any episode of 'Tenth Planet' - something Andrew Pixley has acknowledged both on Outpost Gallifrey and in the Panini 'Doctor Who - The Complete History' release for that story. The track was planned to be used over the opening captions of part one but in the episode this sequence is music-free.[1]
  3. ^ This recording was not featured in Doctor Who and was included only because of inaccurate or incomplete documentation. 'Youngbeat' (or more correctly 'Young Beat') is the name of both a 10" De Wolfe Library LP and its opening track, incorrectly featured here. The correct track is 'Mexican Beat'.[2][1]
  4. ^ This recording was not featured in Doctor Who and was included only because of inaccurate or incomplete documentation. 'Mutations' - the PasB for 'The Space Museum' correctly lists the featured track as 'Mutations: Background' (aka 'Mutations No.1(c)') from BM 158-A. The track on this CD is clearly not that piece but 'Mutations No. 1(a) - Opening'. This was never used in 'Doctor Who' but was employed as the theme music to the TV version of 'Quatermass and the Pit'.[1]
