From various sources, I was able to composite some clean cues from "Wheel of Fortune." Here, we have the 1995 Theme, the Opening Fanfare and part of the Toss-Up music. Enjoy.

If I am not mistaken I got the 1997 theme.

It could be the 1997 theme. . .I'm not exactly sure. I know it was used in the early days of the "touch-panel" puzzle board.

Then why did you call it the "1995 theme" on your original post?

Get your facts straight before you post, bowling buddy.

Of course. I Throw myself before you and beg your forgiveness. . .

Seriously, 1995 seemed like a safe bet.

A little more care is all anyone asks.

Oh, and please stop overquoting.

IIRC at one point, WOF's official site had the 1997 opening and closing themes in their entirety.

The 1995 theme is a bit slower and more "big-band" like. I think it's the on the Nintendo 64 WOF Video Game.

The opening fanfare you posted is a remixed version of their opening theme for when they're on the road. They've used it since... I believe around 1996-97. A full version of the original variation was played on the 3000th show, IIRC.

And there ends my GS geekiness. :P

Nice stuff Kyle.

I liked the original Opening Fanfare better, but the remixed version is OK.

A 7-second toss-up piece is great.  Now if we can just get the full piece, I'd do my inpersonation of Pat singing or humming over the music while the players try to figure out the toss-up.

 Well several times a week the toss up Music goes on longer than that 7 second clip. When I finish setting things up here in the new Chartier Broadcast Center, I will capture a longer clip for you people.  (translation)... I need to connect my sound cables up between my VCR and my computer.  It will be done shortly.

The "big band" WOF theme was introduced in September 1994, was played by the Mort Lindsey Orchestra on Merv's New Year's Show that year, and still can be heard on some of the original Wheel Of Fortune slots (some have a new Steve Kaplan music chip).

I hate to say this here, but BigJon has a longer version in his PC game.
