I think the tricky thing would be that it seems to go both ways. Some of the cues are the Vince Guaraldi Trio, playing his arrangements but also improvising, and the real bummer is that it sounds like there were clearly longer takes of these pieces that we’ll never get to hear (one cue on this release fades out just as someone is starting a solo). But some of the other cues are John Trotter pieces that really do seem like straightforward compositions, and ironically, I think these non-Guaraldi cues are the ones people are really wishing we could have. It really does seem like you could recreate them with a halfway competent flautist and a hi-hat, but they likely only amount to a few minutes of music, and is anybody going to bother with a “all that Peanuts music that’s NOT by Vince Guaraldi, that’s right, you’re welcome everyone” compilation?

I'm guessing that there is enough "lost" music between Great Pumpkin, Christmas and Thanksgiving that someone or some company could commission a transcription and recording, both Guaraldi and non-Guaraldi, and you would have enough for a CD or LP. It would not be that difficult IF you hired the right people.

I found another repeat.
Track 2 "Graveyard Theme" repeats 00:28-00:43 from previous bars.
Apparently "Craft" tried to make this track (pseudo) longer as well.

Since this is just the music and effects track from the special, is it likely that the repeated bars were music that was looped for the special originally? I'd be surprised if the label did that.

There's also a repeat from 0:17 to 0:23 from track 5 (Linus and Lucy Reprise).

It's much easier to do that looping with digital technology than old-skool. I'll bet it's the label, given the brevity of the score.

Would a faithful re-recording be so difficult?

It really does seem like you could recreate them with a halfway competent flautist and a hi-hat...


Flautist if you've got it.

Great, now some idiot will make a pun about flautulence.

So I watched "Great Pumpkin" and then went through my existing CDs. Between Xmas, Peanuts Portraits, and Holiday Hits, you get: Linus and Lucy, The Charlie Brown Theme, The Great Pumpkin Waltz, and Frieda, all of which are featured in the show. That's enough Halloween for me. I don't need this album. I can either play those tracks, or watch the TV show.
