BURL IVES "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" CARTOON SOUNDTRACK (DECCA RECORDS)

"Rudolph the Red–Nosed Reindeer is a long-running Christmas television special produced in stop motion animation by Rankin/Bass. It first aired December 6, 1964 on the NBC television network in the USA and was sponsored by General Electric. It is based on the song by Johnny Marks, and in turn taken from the 1939 poem of the same title written by Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May. Since 1972, the special has aired over CBS, who unveiled a high-definition, digitally remastered version in 2005.

In the story of Rudolph (voiced by Billie Mae Richards) numerous new characters are introduced for the first time as it was told by Romeo Muller. From the original song lyrics, the show features Santa (voiced by Stan Francis) and Mrs. Claus (who speaks with a vaguely Irish brogue) and the reindeer mentioned in the song. Of them, Donder is identified as Rudolph's father, and Comet is presented as the coach of the reindeer team. (Donder and Comet are voiced identically by Paul Kligman.)" Courtesy Wikipedia

SOME CHRISTMAS RE-POSTS

NOW THAT IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS I THOUGHT I WOULD RE-SHARE THESE VARIOUS RECORDINGS THAT I SHARED EARLIER IN THE YEAR:





Pebbles And Bamm Bamm Singing Songs Of Christmas Zip File



The Grinch has successfully displaced Ebeneezer Scrooge as the spirit of anti-Christmas for today's audience. And there are similarities. Just as Tiny Tim was a strong factor in Ebeneezer's redemption, the children are a strong factor in the Grinch's redemption.

It's a pleasure to be able to hear the great Boris Karloff narration, along with the songs, and then afterwards to again hear the songs reprised.

Of course, this is a short CD, just barely 30 minutes in length. One must realize that while the program was supposed to be a half hour long, nearly a third of the time was used for toy advertisements. The irony of it all, a beautiful story telling us that the joy of Christmas is in the spirit of Christmas, not in the getting toys is aired for the purpose of selling overpriced and non-imaginative toys.

The Tracks Are:
1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (The Story)(21:36)
2. Welcome Christmas(1:41)
3. Trim Up The Tree(2:56)
4. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch(2:56) Sung by Thurl Ravenscroft (aka Tony The Tiger)
5. Welcome Christmas (Reprise)(3:35)

I just thought I would share the link here to the web page I made for this LP rip. Here's the link:
A Spike Jones Christmas

It is actually a pretty good collection of Christmas Songs picked out by Spike's Kids. With that Spike Jones typical zanyness thrown in here and there.





This is a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes OTR Show called "The Night Before Christmas".

How The Grinch Stole Christmas Soundtrack - Boris Karloff 320kbps





Like thousands of other kids my age in 1967 I had the single to Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. I had never heard this LP from the Royal Guardsmen until I acquired this one last year off ebay.
Side 1 of the LP is a drama involving all three of the Snoopy record singles. Side 2 is a mixture of love songs, airplane songs and Christmas songs. This copy was a bit choppy in a few spots, but I've tried to edit the skips out as best I could. I hope you enjoy it.

ONCE AGAIN HERE IS MY SHARE OF THE LP THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS MOVIE:




"A Charlie Brown Christmas" Index Page


"IT'S CHRISTMASTIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN":

"It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown is a television special based off the comic strip Peanuts. It consists of several different Christmas-themed storylines adaptated from the strip:

Charlie Brown tries to sell wreaths door-to-door because he wants to buy Peggy Jean a nice pair of gloves.
Peppermint Patty worries about her Christmas book report.
The gang participates in a Christmas play, where Peppermint Patty reluctantly plays a sheep and Sally messes up her single line. (The line relegated to Sally was "Hark!", but instead she shouts "Hockey Stick!"-- which was taken from an 80s storyline in the comic strip)
Although it was first shown on CBS in 1992 (and would be the last Peanuts special to have its television premiere on that network), a VHS release was made available at Shell gas stations a few months prior, which would make this the first Peanuts special released directly to video. Paramount gave it another video release in 1996, and it can now also be seen as a bonus special on the DVD of A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was dubbed by Universal Studios.

ABC has combined It's Christmastime Again with A Charlie Brown Christmas in its most recent annual broadcasts, airing its separate stories directly afterwards but without the special's own title sequence. YTV still airs it as a stand alone special.

This is the first Peanuts TV special since It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown to make use of the famous Vince Guaraldi music scores, even though he died in 1976. The old music was remixed into soft-rock versions for many of the 1990s Peanuts specials."
CAST:
Jodie Sweetin (Full House) and Brittany M. Thornton: Sally Brown
Marnette Patterson: Lucy Van Pelt
John Graas: Linus Van Pelt
Deanna Tello: Peggy Jean
Lindsay Benesh: Marcie
Bill Melendez: Snoopy

CHARLOTTE'S WEB CARTOON AUDIO RIP (Originally On Paramount/EFI Records SPFL 285 Stereo 1973)/ALSO E. B. WHITE READING "CHARLOTTE'S WEB"

Well I got a DVD of the "Charlotte's Web" cartoon. I went through it as best I could, and matched up rips from the movie to make them into a DVD quality soundtrack. There were a couple tracks, such as the "End Title" that I was just not able to match up to the Soundtrack LP. The LP version just isn't in the DVD at the same length as it can be heard on the album. I looked all over for a better copy of the soundtrack, and I just wasn't able to find it. Anyway, here is that rip at 320 kbps:

POPEYE THE SAILORMAN AND HIS FRIENDS (GOLDEN RECORDS GLP-56 1960's)

THIS ONE COMES BY WAY OF ONE OF MY BLOG READERS. I APOLOGIZE I DON'T RECALL HIS NAME, AND COULDN'T FIND THE COMMENT WHERE HE SAID HE WAS SENDING IT TO ME. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING. IN THE SAME STYLE OF LP I THOUGHT I WOULD LINK TO ONE OF TONY'S LPs AT HIS GREAT "WAY OUT JUNK" BLOG CALLED MUSIC AND STORIES FROM ORIGINAL HIT TV AND MOVIE CARTOONS.
"In 1960, King Features Syndicate commissioned a new series of Popeye cartoons, but this time for television syndication. Jack Mercer (Popeye), Mae Questel (Olive Oyl & Betty Boop), and Jackson Beck (Bluto) returned for this series, which was produced by a number of companies, including Jack Kinney Productions, Rembrandt Films, Larry Harmon Productions and Paramount Cartoon Studios (formerly Famous Studios). The artwork was streamlined and simplified for the television budgets, and 220 cartoons were produced in only two years, with the first set of them premiering in the autumn of 1960, and the last of them debuting during the 1961-1962 television season."
Mercer & Questal receive credits as voices on this LP. Writing by Bill Kaye, with Music and Orchestration by Jimmy Carroll.

Disney's "The Sounds Of Christmas" (LP 1348)

I shared this on a separate web page, but in line with the Disney's "Sounds Of Outer Space" LP I shared HERE, I thought I would share the Christmas LP also.
Both the Christmas LP, and the Space LP are made in the similar fashion as Disney's "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds Of The Haunted House". Each of the 3 LPs has one side using the sounds in story fashion, and then the second side of all 3 LPs are the indiviudal sounds that you can use to make your own stories with.
