Description: Novelty pop record by “The Timelords” (in reality critically-acclaimed electronic act The KLF) which mashed up the Doctor Who theme tune with the 70s glam rock hits Rock and Roll (Part Two) by Gary Glitter and Blockbuster! by Sweet. Famously, it reached Number 1 in the UK Singles charts in June 1988 and was also a Number 1 hit in New Zealand, plus a Top 10 hit in Australia, Ireland, Belgium and Norway.

Cover blurb:
Dear Punter
The name is Ford Timelord and I’m the leader of the group. You’re most probably wondering how me, a yank cop car, is now a local Essex boy making records. I was born in Detroit in 1968, my father worked for the car people there, but in 1970 he got promotion. It meant the family relocating to the Dagenham plant in Essex, England.
I grew up always being the odd one out in the junior parking lot and on the runs to Southend but my looks got me cameo and character parts in movies that were being filmed over here. Superman 3 was my biggest break. I fancied my chances in the music game cause I know what people want to hear. So, I mixed and matched some tunes we all know and love, got some mates down and made this record. Sounds like a hit to me.
Success and fame? I can handle it. I’ve got more going for me than most of the cardboard cut out excuses for pop stars around at the moment. After this I reckon I could be an all round show biz personality, host my own chat show, something like that.
Yours Ford
