Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! score music

Hi all! 🙂

I’ve been looking for the score to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! for years, and haven’t been able to find it, but today I found an old (no longer working) link for it on this site.

I’m really hoping someone here will be able to upload it. If possible in FLAC, but anything will do.

Thank you!

No luck on the score, but you can download the songs from the show from Youtube. Also for Josie and the Pussycats.

That’s what I thought, but I found this dead download, and wondered if the score had been found: http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/film-score-vgm-hunt-thread-40522/927.html#post1467832

Send the poster a PM and ask for them to re-up it.

Ok, I will!

There was the Hanna-Barbera’s Pic A Nic Basket Of Cartoon Classics — Thread 100757 — but it only had opening theme for two of the S-D TV shows.

Of course, some of the underscores on Disc 2 may have been ALSO used in S-D.

Thanks for the link! I’ve wanted to listen to the Pic A Nic Basket set for a long time.

But I’m still hoping PStar18 will re-up his collection.

I sent him a PM as well, so cross your fingers. Looks like the last time he was one was back on July 31st.

All my fingers are crossed. The 31st isn’t that long ago, so I’m hopeful.

Another person who might have it is Amanda. She likes the Superfriends and other scores like that. There’s a possibility that she might have this one.

Could you PM her for me?

I haven’t had any luck finding it yet. 🙁

I think I find a website has the music that you’re looking for The Scooby Doo Case Files (http://scoobyfiles.toonzone.net/music/)

Thank you, but the soundtrack uploaded here in the past had a lot more tracks.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but did anybody have any luck in finding something regarding the Scooby Doo Where are you underscore by Ted Nichols?

I agree, if the music tracks existed in good shape somewhere with no voiceovers/fx, they would be worth the price of a CD!

I don’t think so. 🙁

I imagine there’s a yearly bump for this thread. I’ve seen that HB’s "The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" has lots from the Scooby Doo Where Are You cartoon, also made by Ted Nichols, and the cartoon has just been released by WB Archive. Anyone know if some soundtrack has also been released for this show?

No luck.

Some good news at last.

Someone that worked for Turner / Warner Bros. received some Scooby-Doo Where are You underscore (original recordings), and is planning to get WB to release it. However, it seems that Cartoon Network Studios keeps the underscore, and it’s difficult for WB to get it.

Know that I have seen them and heard some of them and they’re original, so be on the lookout for new releases in … 6 months (?).

Cheers!

The underscore has been released onto Archive.org:

Thank you so much for this!

Very cool! Thanks for posting that. Warner has been giving Scooby a lot of attention on Blu-ray lately; maybe they’ll look into giving the music a proper release in the future too.

Thanks for the post!

I’m grateful, but frustrated as to WHY, after waiting 20 years for these, the person / entity releasing them has compressed them in very bad quality MP3s. Data is cheap these days. Why not re-release them in glorified, wonderful, uncompressed FLACs instead? It would make a world of difference. It’s always an insult to see a holy grail find released in shitty low-bitrate MP3s. Sorry, but I had to speak my mind.

I didn’t download it but they are available in OGG as well. I don’t think the quality is much different though. You might take note of what the person who shared it said about its quality:

"I have provided these cues in the hope that higher-quality versions are either soon found, remastered, or released. For now, despite the noisy analog hiss and audible panning errors (the audio appears to be heavier on the right side, yet more audible on the left), this should hope to satisfy those who have been searching."

If I might add something to this–consider that this is music that was recorded like 40-50 years ago, for a kids’ cartoon. I don’t think these were intentionally compressed into very bad quality; we might be listening to original quality.

Thank you for finding this, themusicalman62! It’s not something I ever thought about wanting because I didn’t think something like it would ever be found. I get the idea that the Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive could have more goodies like this.

The original link to the Scooby-Doo underscore is:

http://cybernight.elementfx.com/scooby.html

which has all of the .MP3s uploaded to archive.org as a ~70mb ZIP file. If I’m not mistaken, the uploader who put them on archive.org simply used this link’s ZIP as the source files. Further, the .OGG files are merely *doubly-compressed* since archive.org makes, via software encoders when audio files are uploaded there, various lossy versions, including .OGG as routine.

The message that "higher-quality versions might be found" was not lost on me, *but* we’re 100% for sure NOT hearing the original quality of the "lost" masters at 128-kbps MP3 quality. My point (and hope!) is that the person who did upload the underscore master recordings to the cybernight site re-thinks the decision to ‘preserve’ the underscore with bad-quality, artifact-ridden 128 kbit/sec MP3s, and instead will re-upload the original analogue masters and encode them properly to FLAC, which is *lossless*, and will preserve the original quality of the master tapes *without* introducing new and unwanted digital compression artifacts to that orignal analogue audio recorded 50 year ago!

I hope this makes it a little more clear.

But, I’m still appreciative that after 50 years, the orignal SD underscore recordings have been found and made available. Whether they were "leaked" or not, it is a definite win for us aficionados of the original series.

You’re welcome, Mr. Fate! I was very excited myself to find them one day. Sadly, there are still several cues missing (I believe 15 and some of the opening music from A Night of Fright Is No Delight among others) but what we have is pretty good, considering.
