That was mainly said due to how repetitive it is using motocross 5+ times, i can understand the idea of why they did it but that is major milking of the motif
This cartoon (and other Peanuts specials) are my childhood. The end is depressive though... when Charlie Brown just sits there... "I'm a loser, and I'll always be one", really sad... and the sad synthesizers don't help either. A big nostalgic remembrance of my youth.
The ARP Solina String Ensemble keyboard is what brought me here. Doesn't sound much like real strings (barely), but it's a beautifully unique sound in its own.
Okay. So I just obtained the Peanuts Emmy Honored Collection and it DOES INDEED have a 5.1 mix of You're a Good Sport. The music is (mostly) isolated in the front channels just like the other 5.1 mixes. There's a noticeable upgrade in sound quality compared to this version as well.
Thank you for using the song title differentiations found on Wikipedia. We worked in conjunction with the Wiki editor to give the different variations of "Motocross" more detailed descriptions.
Vince was notorious for variations of the same basic song in different tempos, keys, bars OUCH. How did he ever keep track of them? But yes, the Wiki was the perfect way to describe them.
spetragl If you listen to some of the songs on those Lost Cues CD's, both Vince and the engineers refer to each recording according to their cue number. I'm assuming this is how they knew which track went with which scene. For example, Centercourt is Cue 4 in this special and version 3 of Motocross is Cue 9.
Not going to lie, as a kid I thought this was an Ed Bogas special. It seems quite different from a lot of Guaraldi's work. Imagine what more he could have contributed to the Peanuts world.
🥜🌎🥜Kallu`hHellu hello Spetragl...thank you so much. Will you be able to upload the 1975 Charlie Brown’s You're A Good Sport full movie?!? 🥜🌎🥜I’ve always loved this Vincent G. masterpiece...it has that “Roy Ayers” vibe inculcation & ever so delightful!!!
I'm a sucker for vintage synths, but I must admit that Vince might have missed his mark on this one. The ARP string synthesizer is used a bit too much in my opinion and that trumpet sound made by maybe a MiniMoog is a bit cheesy. Though maybe that's what Vince was going for all along. Who knows. By the way, the complete takes of "Centercourt" and "Motocross (version 3)" can be found in master tape quality on the Lost Cues Vol.1 CD.
I think there's a surreal charm to this score you don't get from the others. the strings sound more meloncholy to me now than when I heard it as a kid, and that moog bass motif is so funky. makes you wonder where he could have gone with these kind of arrangements if he had more time on earth. RIP. Lost Cues is a gem, I hope one day the tapes will be released in their entirety!
Love that synth at 6:17. Is that the ARP solina string? Gives me goosebumps! Wish it hadn't had the "Pharty" synth added on top! But truly beautiful in its natural state. It takes you to misty scenarios that string synth 💖
@@alexmasters6015 Yeah, that's from the ARP String Ensemble. The other one is from a Minimoog. If you like that sound of the ARP, I recommend the Be My Valentine soundtrack since it's full of ARP strings. There's either Spetragl's or the one I uploaded which is better quality.
@@RingoStarr39 Thanks Bud, I really appreciate that. I can't get enough of the ARP. I love Vince's work, some of it more admittedly than others. The end titles are surreal too. I think Elton John,s song for guy has this ARP solina string. If I'm correct. Cheers 🍻🥂
@@spetragl I might have to find that DVD then. I'm attempting to slowly remaster every Vince Peanuts soundtrack. I don't know if you've seen it but I uploaded a temporary remaster of the Graveyard Theme completely sfx free. I just need a high quality source of the extended Coca Cola part.
@@spetragl So apparently this DVD set has a 5.1 mix of You're a Good Sport: www.dvdizzy.com/peanuts-emmy.html Have you investigated this DVD? Is it a discrete 5.1 mix or some sort of fake effect? This may be worth looking into.
I kind of get the sense from this soundtrack that Vince had lost his touch at this point. Compared to his earlier works like "The Great Pumpkin Waltz" and "Christmas Time is Here", this synthy soundtrack seems rushed and amateurish.
This my favorite I had this on VHS when I was a kid I watched it hundreds of times a yea
Phenomenal musicianship. So glad to have this stuff to fall back on when so much music stinks in our present day!!
This is absolutely the best soundtrack out of all the television specials IMHO.
This episode is amazing! The electric piano and rhythm take me in a dimension of lightness and carefree as a childhood
crazy that they said it is one of guaraldi's weakest scores, but i think it's the best
I agree 900% . .It's the best.
That was mainly said due to how repetitive it is using motocross 5+ times, i can understand the idea of why they did it but that is major milking of the motif
@@Ktn_Tico it was a great melody. Why wouldn't they repeat it lol
My brother had this on VHS for years

This is very evocative of mid 1970's cartoon soundtracks. I really enjoy it, thank you for sharing with us 😁☮️💕
When I hear motocross version six, it makes me think of Vince Guaraldi when he passed away
Most underrated fender Rhodes solo ever!!! I had this on VHS growing up and I’m sure it’s why I love all of these sounds so much. Amazing soundtrack
This has to be the shortest version of "The Great Pumpkin Waltz". Thanks for posting this!
Thanks spetragl, this plays all the time. I love it 🥰
i still hear the ending credits song in my head during random times, glad someone uploaded it so i can hear it HEAR IT, know what i mean?
The ARP Solina String Ensemble keyboard is what brought me here. Doesn't sound much like real strings (barely), but it's a beautifully unique sound in its own.
Got to love Charlie brown my brother really enjoys it. One of his favorites
9:08 I hear this every time I walk into the motorcycle shop.
06 "Football" is actually the swing bridge section of "Linus and Lucy"

Still waiting 50 years to complete "He's Your Dog" !
@@spetragl Maybe someday. haha
Thank you for this
That bassline
Thank you so much!
Of note, Cue 16 (new beginning) is actually a different rendition of "Centercross." Listen closely to the bassline.
Here's hoping it stays up.
I've had posts up for years, then one day they take them down claiming "ownership". ARGHH

spetragl - yes, he was! Pure jazz musicians through and through. Never played a song the same way twice.

Center court and motocross to me I always liked, don’t think biogas could ever make something like that
09:08 the song that played in my head at the Philly auto show
Cool pop music !
15:37. Smooth
great job sir, upload more peanuts and Rankin/Bass soundtracks
So, when did the late, great Lyle Mays travel back in time to contribute the synth parts to the equally late, great Vince Guaraldi's score for this?
best charlie brown episode ever. very funny
15:11 Jesus Christ, that's sick
5:49 My Favorite!
Finally charlie brown is congratulated.Its about time more encouragement to do something productive.
1:03 for me. 🤟
AGUANTE CHARLIE BROWN!!! QUE ESPECTACULARR ESTE VIDEO

I don't think they're overused at all. Perfectly reflects the era, along with his cool, tasteful compositions.
Can you send me a link to this and other Guaraldi specials of high res versions I can download? You sent me the Arbor Day previously. Thanks a mil!

please upload some more peanuts shows and movies soundtracks.
Thee best
Is there 1 of these for you're the greatest Charlie Brown
What source was used for this soundtrack? There is no modern 5.1 mix yet available, right?
This one sourced from the Austalian DVD 2.0 channels. Music on one channel, Dialogue on the other. Fx sometimes anywhere.
@@spetragl I might have to find that DVD then. I'm attempting to slowly remaster every Vince Peanuts soundtrack. I don't know if you've seen it but I uploaded a temporary remaster of the Graveyard Theme completely sfx free. I just need a high quality source of the extended Coca Cola part.
@@RingoStarr39 If you could dig up a 16mm Broadcast backup print, you might find one. Barring that, we only have youtube.
@@spetragl Yeah, that might be my only option. Mind you, I'm only concerned about audio quality. The quality of the print itself is irrelevant.
@@spetragl So apparently this DVD set has a 5.1 mix of You're a Good Sport: www.dvdizzy.com/peanuts-emmy.html Have you investigated this DVD? Is it a discrete 5.1 mix or some sort of fake effect? This may be worth looking into.

My favorite was 6:27

I think he just changed with the times.
@@dwiggins1Yeah, it was the 70s/80s synth era.
