SYNOPSIS

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (the Christmas television special) was produced in stop motion animation by Rankin/Bass. It first aired Sunday, December 6, 1964, on the NBC television network in the USA, and was sponsored by General Electric under the umbrella title of The General Electric Fantasy Hour.

THE SOUNDTRACK

Here's an expanded soundtrack containing all of the song tracks including "We're A Couple Of Misfits (from original broadcast)" as well as the replacement track "Fame And Fortune".
And let's not forget Burl Ives singing "Silver and Gold", "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas" and " Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Finale".
As an added bonus, Track 29 is a Billy Mae Richards Radio Interview.

NOTE: Even after it's 50th anniversary release on BluRay, no stereo soundtrack was ever found.
So to this day, I cannot find the "underscore" to recreate it entirely.

Thank you very much!

Nice one! Thanks!!!

Burl Ives at Christmas – wonderful, and brought to you in living colour! The sound quality and music is great too. Thanks for sharing this unusual gem spetrgl.

Thanks for this!

This special was of my absolute favorite things when I was a child. Thanks!

Can I ask what the source of these tracks are? This isn't all from 1 cd, correct?

Most of the tracks came from the original vinyl album, with the exception of "We're A Couple Of Misfits" which came from the original broadcast.

Thanks spetragl!!

Thank you.

This gem has defined the holiday season for a generation of kids. A complete Classic !!!

I just noticed something. Like all the other releases, this one is missing the "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day" sung by Burl Ives. All have the instrumental, but not the one by Burl Ives, which you can buy online.

I have a copy of the "restored" version from 1964 and after listenng to it twice, I can't locate it.
I'm just curious which Video version of "Rudolph" has this song?

Thanks!!

Does the underscore to the Rudolph special exist, perhaps from a DVD or blu ray rip? Thanks!

I haven't seen them anywhere.
However the Bonus tracks included in this edition contain instrumentals re-recorded by the Decca Concert Orchestra, which are similar to what you are looking for.

Thanks for the Rudolph upload Spetragl,

Love that guy!

Burl Ives, "I heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is about 3/4 of the way through the movie. The instrumental comes towards the end.
I did some more digging and found it; it's at 57 seconds into the film underneath Burl Ives talking about Christmastown.
And if you download the soundtrack, you'll see that the instrumental version is included (as rerecorded by the Decca Concert Orchestra).
Good catch!

For all of you fans keeping score, here's an updated listing of all songs in the film.

Thanks for solving this mystery. I always wondered where that song came in the show and missed it all these years! I'm still hoping someone with the know-how can see if the DVD or blu ray can be ripped for the underscore music.

That's a tall order given how the score was recorded, but you never know.

That's a tall order given how the score was recorded, but you never know.

Considering that the original score was recorded in mono in 1964, you're not likely to find a 5.1 mix, even on BluRay.
I imagine that's why they included the "rerecorded" instrumentals by the same orchestra (Decca), but they are obviously not exactly the same as the TV version.

i wish they had the score on here to.

Re-up please?

Sorry about that, Peejeshare has been a pain lately.
I deleted the file on the server, and re-uploaded it.

P.S. If you get the message "All Download slots are filled", just keep trying.

"The file you requested does not exist." Still...

Yup, same thing here. "File does not exist".

Sorry for the inconvenience. I've opened a trouble ticket with Peejeshare, we'll see where that goes.
Meanwhile I've uploaded a new copy to Zippyshare. Let's see if this is any better.
