Here’s an expanded version containing the original "Paul Zaza & Carl Zittrer" score, plus many of the lesser known tracks heard in the background of the movie.
Many of the tracks were collected from various people over the years and frankly some are still very difficult to find.
But I think you may find this collection pretty close to complete and definitely enjoyable.
Firstly, it runs non-stop on TBS. I have never known A Christmas Story to be shown on TNT. Ever.
Secondly, this is the requests section. This belongs here:

Very weird. Here in The Big Apple where I am, it runs for 24 hrs on Christmas Day (technically starting at 8PM Christmas Eve and Ending 8PM Christmas night) on TBS. Completely different station. They may both be owned by Ted Turner, but they’re still different stations.

Is this the track listing for this score? Because I already have a number of these same tracks, but only 20 track version, which I think was the released version.
AND, by the way, people, it does belong HERE! You could put a link on the request page over to here, but this is where it should be, being a film score! 🙂
Thanks for the upload.

As I mentioned earlier, the music has been collected from various sources over the years, including the official 20 track release and placed in the proper chronilogical order.
This version fills in the blanks by adding in most of the missing songs; if you look at the included track list text file, you’ll see where each song is played in the movie. What’s still strange is that the official tracks sometime combine multiple "stings" or "cues" into one mp3 file. I did not attempt to dissect them.
But I hope you’ll find this version enjoyable.

Enjoy.
EDIT: A slot finally opened up in spetragl’s link. Thank you!
Yeah, for three days, I’ve gotten the same thing.
I managed to download it yesterday. Just keep the link open in another tab and refresh occasionally. A slot will open up sooner or later.
They switch every year. TNT one year… TBS the next. Fact.
Just to clear up any confusion 🙂
Just to clear up any confusion 🙂
It’s been on TBS for the last 5 or so years. However, TNT has played the movie around Christmas time in the past. The last time I saw the movie on TNT was 2007/2008. TNT also used to play "The Wizard of Oz" during the annual TBS showing, but I don’t think they did this year.

Enjoy.
Thanks! For those getting "All Slots are Filled" message (as we all do), I’ve had better luck recently by refreshing fairly frequently 🙂
Thank you for the re-up!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This is my favorite movie!
