'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' features some of the most iconic tracks in pop culture, including the instantly recognizable 'Linus and Lucy', as well as the languid, lyrical 'Great Pumpkin Waltz'. The entire scoring process was overseen by composer, arranger and conductor John Scott Trotter, well known for a three-decade run as Bing Crosby's music director and close friend. The slowdown of the pandemic gave the Mendelson family, (Lee Mendelson was the Executive Producer of the TV Special), an opportunity to dig deep through their archives and they discovered what were previously thought to be lost to time: the original analog session reels for 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'. What you will hear on most tracks of this new and improved 'best' version of 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' are the musical cues as recorded by Vince and crew before they were edited for the television special, in show order, as well as a selection of alternate takes.
