The Evil of the Daleks/The Crusaders (Audio episodes)

[Joel_Kirk]

I recently listened to the audio episodes of The Crusade and The Evil of the Daleks. Actually, I listened to part of the The Crusade and all of The Evil of the Daleks.
Crusade was interesting in the start, but got kinda slow. However, The Evil of the Daleks picked up, got kinda slow (and iffy, as you had to visualize the characters and the change of time period) but got up to speed once the Daleks appeared.

I've only seen the first episode of The Crusade, and I've only seen a pic from The Evil of the Daleks. (The one with Jamie and Victoria)...

I understand I'm able to get ahold of the audio versions of these other episodes: The Underwater Menace, The Ice Warriors...and the documentary, The Dalek Conquests.

Well, all of the missing episodes have been released on CV, so they should be available somewhere. That's with narration, of course: the 'clean' versions are only available for the Crusade and Ice Warriors episodes (included on CD with the VHS release), and for Marco Polo, Mission to the Unknown and The Dalek Masterplan (MP3 files on the narrated CDs).

The audio for Evil is slightly edited. Episode One is missing material from the Tri-Colour bar scenes, depending on what version you listen to.

I think it's complete on the CD, but edited on the earlier cassette.

Is it complete, or did they just change the audio like they did with the Remembrance of the Daleks DVD?

Looks to be the latter: nothing on the Restoration site either way (it ws probably in the now-shut forums), but this was on wikipedia:

"The previous release had to cut a scene set in a coffee bar with a Beatles song playing in the background. Mark Ayres discusses in a DWM interview in issue 336 how a rights clearance was not only simply unfeasible due to cost, but that the rights owner would not issue a clearance under any circumstances. Mark goes on to describe how he painstakingly was able to use another song in the background instead (later revealed to be a song by the Dave Clark Five, digitally inserting the one over the other."
