An early Christmas Present for everyone! Enjoy!

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Capitol Records and Calash Corporation, proudly presents the premiere
release of Henry Mancini’s complete score for this 1985 Christmas movie Santa Claus: The Movie.

The film, directed by Jeannot Szwarc, starred Dudley Moore, David Huddleston and John Lithgow. An ambitious and
expensive project produced by Alexander Salkind, it was not the box-office hit it was expected to be.
One of the most important aspects of the film was its soundtrack, for which Salkind hired the great Henry Mancini.
The composer was deeply involved in the production, composing more than 85 minutes of original music for the 109-minute film.

Mancini’ score is so beautiful, diverse and emotional, it is not strange that it has become the film’s most remembered
and appreciated feature. Recorded in CTS Studios in London with The London Metropolitan Orchestra, the score
also features The Ambrosian Children’s Choir performing several charming songs written by Mancini and Leslie Bricusse.

For the original album, released in 1985 by EMI America, Mancini and sound engineer Rod McMaster prepared
a program of highlights: 13 tracks lasting only 37 minutes (from an 85-minute score!).
Some themes were modified for their album version – with different durations, slightly different mixes
or the addition of pop elements. Almost all of Mancini’s symphonic effort was missing.

After a long search for all the source material and an effort to bring together the different rights owners (the film
was a complicated coproduction), we can now present Mancini’s masterful score in its entirety, remixed
from �″ 3-track stereo and 2" 24-track session masters vaulted in mint condition in Abbey Road Studios, London
(where McMaster mixed the EMI disc). In addition to the complete score, it has been great to discover a lot of
extra material that Mancini recorded for the film: songs with alternate lyrics, different orchestrations, etc.
Courtesy of Capitol Records, Quartet has also included the original 1985 album version, mastered from first
generation master tapes stored in the Abbey Road vaults.

Sorry to hear that but I don't want to use mediafire as you have to register before uploading.

Overwhelming. Thank you very much.

Thanks, perfect gift for special day today

Extra music by the great Mancini is always welcome. Thank you for the upload and Merry Christmas

If you decide to scan the booklet I'd jump on that.

Thanks a bunch, this is a nice late Christmas gift! :)

People if you have the money buy it! I got mine in the mail it,s worth it. i am glad that the instrumental songs are included!! because i hate the childrens choir in the songs

Oh my god, I didn't even realise I needed this until I saw this thread! This movie is one of my all time favourites, I shall be listening to this soundtrack on repeat xD

Thanks so great :)

Thank you very much!

Updated links! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Same, disliked the vocal tracks ! - I had this ordered as soon as I discovered it was available .. well worth the purchase !

Thank you so much! I tried rewatching this move last year, and the only thing that was making it bearable was this delightful score!

Thank you very much!

Exactly. The vocal tracks are problematic mostly because they are too Christmasy. When I replace them with instrumental tracks I am able to listen to the score year round. My only minor complaint is that I wish they had not crossfaded a Christmas songs medley track with part of the score. In general I love this music because it is the Christmas themed score that has very little Christmas music and so that track annoys me every time I listen to it.

Does anybody have the cover for this edition. And I mean full front+back.
Booklet would be even better ;)

Many thanks!

Thank You so much for the nice large scans, Sirusjr :)

Thank you! Early merry christmas to you!

Thank you Sirusjr!
That's what I needed.

Thanks for the scans as well, I've been searching the internet for high quality art for this release with little to no luck. I took the booklet scan and cleaned it up a little crop it down and re-sized it it for use as my album art and I'll share it below.

Welcome guys :)

Thanks a lot!!:)

Thanks so much!!!
