A Charlie Brown Christmas

Product Information

There’s no doubt the Charlie Brown soundtracks overshadowed the rest of Guaraldi’s career: the vast majority of his oeuvre isn’t on streaming services, and on the cover of the 2009 compilation The Definitive Vince Guaraldi – which delays breaking out Charlie Brown until CD 2, devoting the first to Guaraldi’s experiments with Latin American music – he’s pictured alongside Charlie Brown’s piano-playing chum Schroeder.

The CD comes in a nice digipack with a nice 14 page booklet which includes lots of info about the special with lots of the original artwork and adverts for the first time it was aired on TV. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. SPECIAL FOR THE PEANUTS 70th ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR: A Charlie Brown Christmas will be wrapped with an ‘animated’ collectible lenticular featuring Charles M Schulz’s beloved classic characters.Also consider, as we have been reaffirming regularly here on AP — especially given The Beatles remixes in recent years — that no one from the big bad record companies will be sneaking into your homes and sifting through your record collections in the middle of the night to steal your original pressings. Auch meinen Eltern gefiel die Musik sehr gut und wir haben sie nicht nur Heiligabend, sondern auch noch am 2.

Consider the 21st Century reality that, if there was a possibility of creating a fresh and improved stereo master from the original multitrack tapes, it is no doubt in the best interest of Vince Guaraldi’s musical legacy to preserve those recordings before the tapes disintegrate any further. I’d been long frustrated by off-center, lackluster pressings over the years, and unfortunately had endured many distorted versions in my quest to find a clean original. Thus, the new vinyl lacquers were cut from that digital source (and more on that point in a moment).The beloved Peanuts animated special from which it sprang was a sensation the first time it aired on CBS-TV, and so was its cool soundtrack by the veteran Bay Area pianist, which introduced countless children to the joys of jazz. With such iconic tracks as “Christmas Time is Here” and the instantly recognisable “Linus and Lucy”, the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas shares the title of best-selling jazz album in history, and was certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA in late 2016. In fact, the standard version of the album has now been upgraded with a new stereo mix from engineer, Paul Blakemore.
