SYNOPSIS

Peppermint Patty invites herself and her friends over to Charlie Brown’s for Thanksgiving, and with Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock, he attempts to throw together a Thanksgiving dinner.

THE SOUNDTRACK

The jazzy soundtrack features a toe-tapping, wistful score by Vince Guaraldi and his quintet.
The track "Little Birdie" is sung by Vince Guaraldi himself.
I’ve created this complete soundtrack sourced from various locations. Some of the tracks contain music never before heard cleanly.
In addition, I’ve added some beautiful stills sequenced to match the scenes in the film.
Thanks to Derrick Bang for the original Track list, and supplying the sidesman from his book "Vince Guaraldi at the Piano".

*UPDATE* Thanks to John Cassidy for finding a "clean" version of "08. Linus and Lucy" with the band. Enjoy!

LITTLE BIRDIE (vocal) LYRICS – Sung by Vince Guaraldi

Little birdie, why do you fly upside-down?
It’s amazing at the way you get around.
Little birdie, why you worry like you do?
Don’t you worry, you just do what you can do.

Little birdie, things just fascinate you so.
And your friend there, likes to show you what he knows.
Little birdie, he don’t mind the way he should.
He needs watching, that’s when you know that he’ll be good.

Little birdie, can’t your friend do nothin’ right?
It seems now all he wants to do is fight.
Little birdie, look at what he’s trying to do.
It’s so easy, yet he don’t know what to do.

Thanks!

Tracklist please??

———————————————–
My thanks go to "five cents please" ( Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts Song Library (http://fivecentsplease.org/dpb/cuesheet.html) ) for providing the track list.

Thank you.

Is this a dvd-rip of the audio? Also, would you happen to have the soundtracks to…It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas?

Ok, I downloaded and there is only 12 tracks, not 13…and two of the tracks #3 and #10 are in a file format and #13 is missing. So, bottom line you really have only 10 tracks in total. What gives here?

Remember, he got the track list from someone else. For some reason or another, he couldn’t just look at the music he uploaded and post a list of what he uploaded. Perhaps there is some confusion over the fact that whatever he uploaded does not actually correspond to the list he posted. What do you mean they "are in a file format"?

Tracks #3 and #10, are in what they look to be a flac file, but they are not. There is "0" byte to the file which tells me, no file. Everything else was posted in mp3 format.

Thanks. I had no idea this special had a soundtrack.

I was going to suggest giving the files in question an extension. Older versions of Windows used to display the file type extension; the newer versions probably do too. I just don’t know what the default setting is. But…seeing as how the file size is 0, changing the extension probably isn’t going to fix it.

Tracks 3 and 10 descriptions say "same as 02" and "same as 07", so they may have been deliberately set-up as blank files.

In may TV programs, songs are repeated.
In the case of #3 and #10, rather than adding duplicate files, I just put dummy file entries.
I did this just to match the track list from fivecentsplease.
Sorry for the confusion.

Q. Is this a dvd-rip of the audio?
A. Yes, most of the tracks are from BluRay audio (in stereo).
I added some Vince Guaraldi tracks from my personal collection.

Q. Also, would you happen to have the soundtracks to…It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas?
A. Yes I do, again same format as above.

Thank you for the explanation. I really appreciate it.

I hate to ask, but would you so terribly mind ripping the (complete audio only) from your Blu-Ray of all 3 Charlie Brown Holiday Specials. I would love to have the complete specials as they are on blu-ray in audio form only. Pretty, Please.

No need to add any of your Vince Guaraldi tracks from your personal collection, I just want the complete audio from the Charlie Brown specials themselves.

These are the specials I want complete audio ripped from BLU-RAY…

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Thank You So Very Much! 😉

Please make sure you have the "FLAC" codec installed to play these files.
I used flac since the soundtracks are recorded in 5.1ch, flac supports that many channels and it allows some compression of the files.

Lf and Rf are the normal TV tracks; C contains mostly vocals, lfe (some low frequency stuff) and Ls and Rs contain music and echo. The 5.1 effect won’t jump out at you but for 35 year old programs, it’s refreshing good.

Enjoy.

That was so very nice of you to do this for me. I so appreciate this. Does this have the track list or chapter title to what is on the blu-ray? Are these also broken down into individual tracks?

Sorry, each file is the complete 25m audio, no breaks.

That’s ok. Thank you for all your hard work. Happy Thanksgiving!! 😉

spetragl,

Would you happen to have the above links from blu-ray and in flac? My external hard drive crashed and I lost everything. Please and thank you! 🙂

I maintain the soundtrack files in mp3, so converting them to flac doesn’t buy you anything.
Feel free to download XrecodeII (Convert flac to mp3, flac to wav, ape to mp3, cue to mp3, flac to alac, flac to m4a, flv to mp3 and more. (http://xrecode.com/)) and convert them to Flac or anything else.

Also, check my other "Peanuts" posts, the links are refreshed.

Thanks a lot
