Notes

Front of sleeve:
Featuring the "Dr. Who" Theme
"Hi! I'm Ford Timelord. I'm a car, and I've made a record."

Rear of sleeve:
"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"

Printed on center label:
Probably the most nauseating record in the world.

    I agree! Totally wacked-out fun. Is this record in any related to The Jam? Does anyone know?

      It's so weird and so awesome at the same time, it can be a bit cringe worthy but as a whovian I love it, especially the track for A2 it's a little less silly and great to just hear the who theme on vinyl
