(This is the second version of the release. The only mistake was Disc 2 Track 35's title was "The Canterlot Welcome Cheer," which was corrected to "The Crystal Empire Welcome Cheer." If you have any issues or spot any problems, please email me at the address at the bottom of this file. Thanks for reading!)

It's that time again, everypony! And only 419 days late!

While I can't apologize enough for the delay in getting this project done for the third year in a row, I hope that the quality you've come to expect is worth the wait. Life really got in the way of this project this season, but finally that's all in the past, and it is ready to be enjoyed by thousands of you once again.

As always, the album is split into 4 discs, across several formats. Here is a description of what each disc contains.

Disc 1: Musical Numbers

These are the songs most people want. This disc includes vocal songs like "Babs Seed" and "True, True Friend." This disc contains only regular versions of the songs.

Disc 2: Incidental Music 1

This disc includes important background music from key moments of the series. Music from events like the Timberwolves chase and Fluttershy defeating Discord are present here.

Disc 3: Incidental Music 2

This disc includes background music from moments of the series too short or non notable to be on Disc 2. This includes music like Pinkie Pie's spy theme, Rainbow Dash's scary story themes and the Wonderbolts training race. This disc also includes music I wasn't able to acceptably clean up, that may still have unimportant sound effects or clear echoes of voices in them.

Disc 4: Bonus Music

This disc is my favorite. It contains instrumental, chorus, and vocals-only versions of every song I was able to distill into its component parts. If a song doesn't have a chorus version, it's just because it was nearly or totally identical to the instrumental version. This is the disc you want if you're interested in singing your own versions of songs, or you want to remix the existing vocals from them. You can also listen to the intricate work going on under the vocals in Daniel Ingram's songs.


Thanks once again to William Anderson and Daniel Ingram for their continually impeccable work on creating the music for the series. Without their talent and creativity I am certain I wouldn't be interested enough in the songs and music to bother putting this project together.

Thank you so much for being so patient with me, and as always, please send an email to captaincomedy@gmail.com with comments, criticism, questions, or if you just want to say hi. I do this project for you guys, and talking to fans of my compilation is always a great joy. The number of people who kept in touch with me as I got through this project kept my spirits up on some of my sadder days, and I can only hope the ones who have waited for my project are satisfied with the end result. Thank you all so much. See you again later this year! :D
