The release included a fourteen-page booklet containing an introduction to the Album by "Doctor Who" Executive Producer Julie Gardner, written on the 8th November 2006; and four pages of comments on the contents of the album, written by Murray Gold in November 2006. The booklet also featured many publicity pictures, including a Cyberman, a Dalek ship, Matron Casp and the New Earth Hospital, the Doctor and Rose, and a Slitheen. The last page has a picture of Dalek Sec from "Doomsday".
It was originally released as a special limited edition, which featured a cardboard slipcase containing the jewel CD case, as well as a small badge featuring the Doctor and Rose, as seen on the cover artwork.

Track listing
The CD included 31 tracks, two of which were different versions of the Doctor Who theme music. The longest track was Doomsday at 5:09 and the shortest was the TV version of the theme tune (0:41); the second-shortest was Seeking The Doctor at 0:44.
The compilation included two songs, Song For Ten and Love Don't Roam, both of which were performed by Neil Hannon. In the original version of Song For Ten (in The Christmas Invasion), the singer was Tim Phillips, and Neil Hannon performed Love Don't Roam in the 2006 Christmas special, The Runaway Bride.
The soundtrack became the top download in its category on iTunes, above the soundtrack for Casino Royale. [1] On January 122007, the MediaGuardian.co.uk website's "Media Monkey" diary column reported that Doctor Who fans from the discussion forum on the fan website Outpost Gallifrey were attempting to organise mass downloads of the track "Love Don't Roam" from the soundtrack, which was available as a single release on the UK iTunes store. This was in order to attempt to exploit the new UK singles chart download rules, and get the song featured in the Top 40 releases.[2] The effort was not successful.
"Westminster Bridge" was inspired by a Pixies tune, Cecilia Ann. [3]
The ethereal voice performed by Melanie Pappenheim in "The Doctor's Theme" and "Doomsday" was often referred to as "President Flavia" by the production team, who described it as her singing from the time vortex. (Flavia was a Time Lady who became President of the High Council of Time Lords in The Five Doctors.)
"The Daleks" contains male vocalists singing "Oh, mah koreh", which is Hebrew for "what is happening?".
Murray Gold added further lyrics to "Song for Ten" after The Christmas Invasion, reflecting Rose's departure from the series, and it is this version rather than the shorter original version from the episode, that is included on the album.
Although the "album version" of the "Doctor Who Theme" is often cited in reviews as being the same as the closing credits version of the theme used from The Christmas Invasion onwards, it is in fact a different arrangement. Among the changes made to the album version is the end of the track omits the "electronic howl" sound effect (dating back to the 1970s) which is heard on the televised version of the closing theme.
