Title Song

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the title song written and sung by Rod McKuen? The soundtrack consists of only the Vince Girbaldi songs and I can't find where it would have been released otherwise. Any ideas?

I also really wish I could get a copy of Rod McKuen's title song, or really any of the music from this movie apart from the reused Vince Gauraldi music (which is indeed great, but very easy to find).

I liked the famous "Linus & Lucy" song, played in a minor chord when Linus was stressing over his missing blanket.

The soundtrack album for the theatrical film was released briefly and went out of print soon after.

It has unfortunately been confused with that of the 1965 TV documentary of the same name, which other writers have referred to.

The FILM soundtrack actually does include the McKuen songs.

I recently found a copy on E-Bay and copied it to CD for myself because I played it so much.

There's another source for the McKuen songs which, unlike the film soundtrack LP mentioned above by bok602, has been reissued on CD (in June 2015): it's a 1970 album with the long and partially misleading title Music from the Original Score: Rod McKuen Performs and Conducts All His Songs from A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Selections from The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie, Me, Natalie[,] and Joanna. I say "partially misleading" because the title's opening phrase "Music from the Original Score" could be taken by unwary purchasers to mean that it's a full soundtrack album, which it isn't.

Here's the soundtrack I made, which includes this song.
