Yeah, sounds like the music & effects track for sure. A shame that they weren’t more up front about this from the start.

Some tracks do have some sound effects, yes. I asked here and was told sadly this is all that is left and this is the only way this could be presented. No other way. It's better than nothing. This is a 52 year old TV special. I don't believe there is any mention of the effects with the music.
From the press release:
One of the most sought-after soundtracks in the beloved collection of music from the iconic Peanuts animated TV specials, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is being made available for the first time ever on Friday, October 5 via Craft Recordings. Featuring music by Grammy-winning composer/performer Vince Guaraldi, the CD package includes a new introduction from the TV show's executive producer Lee Mendelson and insightful liner notes by Derrick Bang, Peanuts historian and author of Vince Guaraldi at the Piano.
It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (Music from the Soundtrack 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 music was recorded on October 4, 1966 at Desilu's Gower Street Studio in Hollywood, California by Guaraldi (piano) and his longtime friends and trio sidemen - bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Colin Bailey - joined by Emanuel Klein (trumpet), John Gray (guitar) and Ronald Lang (woodwinds). 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.
Following the astounding popularity of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip and the first two successful Peanuts television specials - A Charlie Brown Christmas and Charlie Brown's All-Stars - It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown debuted October 27, 1966 with a phenomenal 49 percent audience share, meaning 49 percent of the people watching television during those 25 minutes had tuned in to see Charlie Brown.
"This is the quintessential Vince Guaraldi for our Peanuts' specials...some of his best atmospheric jazz," Mendelson shares. "Vince's score carries the gang with the autumn leaves, through the scary and cold Halloween night. This music comforts the indomitable faith of Linus, still waiting for his hero since 1966 - forever in our ears, hearts and memories."
"Guaraldi had a strong sense of how music could - and should - be employed to maximize the viewing audience's emotional response," writes Bang. "[He] emphatically established the Peanuts 'musical personality' with this third outing, and all subsequent prime-time specials owed much to the groovin' atmosphere that is so prevalent in Great Pumpkin. Guaraldi had a gig for life...and his legacy lives on, expand[ing] by the year, thanks in great part to the jazz swagger given to an insecure blockhead and his lovably crazy beagle."

Just say there are no tapes for every cue. Why does the point have to be made with it's age? There are plenty of releases from scores that old out, including "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" out on Kritzerland, which is about forty-eight years old.

Do any of the tracks run longer than they did on the TV soundtrack? Or is this as they were edited for the show?
If it's from the M&E track, it's just pulled from what you heard in the show. There could be recordings of common stuff like Linus & Lucy they sourced from elsewhere.

The version of "Linus & Lucy" in this special is distinctive because of the flute; they can't source that from something else and remain faithful to the original score. They may use the previously released version of "Great Pumpkin Waltz" since it's from this special.
The only cue I really want a clean version of is "Breathless", but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, that's the whole reason I wanted it, too - that Trotter piece haunts my autumn dreams.
