Teasing the Korean

As was often the case back then in the US, "soundtrack" albums were generally re-recorded for contractual reasons. The albums could be virtually identical to what was heard in the films, or radically different, or anything between the two extremes. The A Charlie Brown Christmas LP is a re-rerecord, and there are some tracks in the film that did not make it to the LP. These include the music heard when Snoopy is decorating his doghouse, and the jazz waltz version of "O Tannenbaum." A few years ago, someone released the music to Great Pumpkin, but it was taken directly from the film's music and effects reel. If the sessions were recorded in hi-fi, the original tapes are lost or long gone. I have this. "The Charlie Brown Theme" on this album is heard during the Christmas play rehearsal in A Charlie Brown Christmas. This album got a reissue in a boring cover many years later. I have the original..

Piero Umiliani - Five Dolls for an August Moon

This set has eluded me!

They couldn't find a photo where Hugh Grundy's eyes were open?

Jerry Goldsmith - The Omen

It's kind of surprising that Fantasy/Guaraldi were not able to cash in on that Peanuts music earlier. Maybe it took several airings of the shows over several years for the music to be engrained in kids' heads? You would think that a 45 with "Linus and Lucy" on one side and maybe "Christmastime is Here" on the other may have sold reasonably well. Same with the "Great Pumpkin Waltz."

Harry Sukman - Salem's Lot The main title is reminiscent of Herrmann's skeleton duel music from Sinbad.

@sgcim I have two questions for you: 1. Did you ever cross paths with Billy Bauer? 2. Are you familiar with Jack Marshall's Capitol album 18th Century Jazz? I can find only one video of one track on the InterTubes. The arrangements are fantastic. It is from 1959, but the arrangement of "Invitation" sounds like he time travelled to the early 1970s.

Lallo. Gori - La Morte Scende Leggera

Thanks. Is that a site for Beach Boys geeks?

The ones that I really care about are: Jazz Giant Genius of Amazing Vols 1 & 2 The one you need is Jazz Giant, but if you have the Verve double LP of Genius of, you already have this.

I thought you were going to write that he stayed up till 5 am drinking!

If I had to guess, I would assume that most of those sales were post-CCR. But the pre-CCR sales were probably significant.

They will probably sound as good as or worse than your Bose unit.

That's what I would assume.

So that's one third of the issue solved.

Consider some B&W shelf speakers as part of your setup. They are small, wall-mountable, and they sound great.

Does anyone remember this video that went viral maybe 10 years ago? I am trying to find it. Two jazz musicians - I think a guitar and bass - are playing under an awning of a NY city restaurant or cafe. An older woman interrupts them while they are playing to ask for directions. She has the nerve to come back again and ask for further directions, Anyone remember this, and anyone have a link? I'm sure it was posted here at the time.

I was thinking about Fantasy Records signing CCR, and how that changed everything, but I was also thinking about how before CCR, Fantasy had Vince Guaraldi. Not only was "Cast Your Fate" a hit single, but he was also scoring those Peanuts specials. I wonder how Vince Guaraldi albums in the mid- to late-60s sold, compared to other albums being released by jazz labels.

How did the concert go? Any recordings?
