This is an unofficial remaster of this album that I did over a decade ago. I uploaded most of the tracks individually around the same time but I just noticed a few of them still weren't on RU-vid or had gone altogether, so here is the album in full. This was taken from a needledrop and was cleaned up to remove vinyl noise as best as I could. It isn't perfect (I used quite a bit of noise reduction which I certainly wouldn't use if I was doing this now, and track 3 was taken from a different needledrop that didn't have as much vinyl noise but had noticeably different sound quality) but you can still hear the album at least. There's an official remaster of the soundtrack in the works according to several sources which I'd imagine would sound better than this, but I thought I'd upload this in the meantime just to tide things over with this early material until the official release comes out.
One thing you might notice is that the left/right audio channels are the other way around to how they were on most of the individual uploads. This is because, apart from the instrumental tracks, I accidentally got them the wrong way around back when I uploaded the songs originally (the reason why is because after I had cleaned up a song I would swap the channels around and go back through it again to see if I had missed anything, but I forgot to swap them back to what they originally were and didn't notice at the time). This is something I wanted to fix, so this upload of the full album presents the songs and music with the channels the correct way around as intended.
There aren't any musician credits on the album, but it's been confirmed that Jon Stroll plays piano and keyboards on everything, Bob Babbitt plays bass on the songs from the second special (possibly also on the first special's songs too but not 100% sure), the orchestra used was the National Arts Centre Orchestra (though due to legal reasons they were credited on the other soundtrack releases as the National Raccoon Orchestra and the Royal Raccoon Orchestra), and the backing vocalists include Jon Stroll, Hank Martin and Valerie Wilson.
