Berenstain Bears Random House cassette unknowns

A few tracks featured in some Berenstain Bears cassette tapes released by Random House sometime in the 70's that I can't find. Music seems to be sourced from libraries distributed by Emil Ascher, as several KPM, JW, and Conroy tracks show up in these, and the "theme" used is from Standard.

CLOWN1 is actually a sound effect from an Elektra Records Sound Effects LP, specifically Trumpet Fanfare #1 from Volume 4.
Here's a video of it:

"goldi3" is a Jack Shaindlin Cinemusic cue called "Follow That Car", released on CMR 608.

clown2 is "Happy" by Sam Fonteyn from Standard Music Library ESL 132 "Romantic / Pastoral".

Also, here's the remaining unknown track from "Spooky Old Tree", which you've uploaded to Dropbox 2 years prior: dropbox.com/scl/fo/oerbsluafnuntg511kc1k/h?dl=0&e=1&preview=spookytree.wav&rlkey=f0c36to66whkemafvw4prk4g4

Thanks to you and all others who've responded with ID's so far!

I've also found a few more on ESL 132, "Downbeat Time Passing" by Ron Grainer is bbook1, and "Slinky & Sexy" by Sam Fonetyn, which was used in the cassette for the book Old Hat, New Hat (which I neglected to include due to having a lot of tracks played for only very short moments).

*BUMP*

Just plugged goldi1 into soundfinder.gg and it came out as "Ocean Shimmer" by Laurie Johnson from KPM LP 10 (Brownsleeves series), which should be it for "The Berenstain Bears' Nursery Tales" audio cassette soundtrack.

Many thanks for this.

Given that all those in the initial batch I linked have been ID'd, I suppose it's safe to also supply those cues I mentioned in regards to the Old Hat, New Hat cassette. (Plus one from The Bear Detectives.)

Given the very short snippets used here to accentuate the book's text, I have no idea if most of these are all various short cues or if they're cut down portions of longer tracks. The eighth cue was also very sped up, so I've slowed it down to what I think may be close to its original speed?

Actually, the 8th cue in "Old Hat, New Hat" is much slower in pitch than what you've got in the clip. It's actually the mid section and ending of "Wah Wah Blues" by Duncan Lamont from KPM 1164 "Loony Toons". I've also managed to find "Pogo Stick" by James Clarke from KPM 1164 as well, plus "Back Soon" and "Back Again" by David Lindup from KPM 1146 "Links, Bridges and Stings".
