All that said, if you own a truly clean, original copy of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” that you like and are a casual fan of this music, you’re probably in good shape, and this new release may not be necessary for you. Christmas Time" hits the needle and my heart starts to flutter a bit and a tear wells up in the eye. Black Orpheus catapulted Guaraldi into wide recognition, and the track “ Cast Your Fate to the Wind” became an instant hit, topping jazz and pop charts, and winning a 1963 GRAMMY ® Award. Thus, the new vinyl lacquers were cut from that digital source (and more on that point in a moment). The super deluxe offers more than 50 never-before-heard outtakes from five recording sessions and features both mixes of the album on CD 1.The Super Deluxe Edition offers fans an unparalleled deep dive into all aspects of A Charlie Brown Christmas—placing listeners in the studio as the musicians work through their arrangements. 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. The lenticular will be shrink-wrapped to the outer jacket so it can be framed or showcased separately from the album as the work of art that it is.

I’m just giving you an honest heads up on that point, just in case any level/increment of that kind of thing is an annoyance to you as a listener.The soundtrack album remains the second–best-selling jazz title in history, and was certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA in late 2016. Part of this is based on the fact that when producing its vinyl albums, PS Audio does not compress the dynamic range during the transfer process, and the warmth is still there. He had one of the early versions without the sides listed on the labels and I paid no mind to the side serials under the word STEREO.

Indeed, with this new remix of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” now available, Christmastime is truly here. I have this version (CR 00061) and the 2021 silver foil version (F- 8431) and this version sounds 100 times better. With such iconic tracks as “Christmas Time is Here” and the instantly recognizable “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. For 2022, the traditionally white jacket has been wrapped in a gold foil while the Peanuts characters and tree have been embossed for a striking look. The perfect Christmas album, have loved this album since i was a small boy ( i'm 67 now) the CD version has been mastered beautifully by Fantasy records.As much as I love my trusty SACD edition (albeit with its curious alternate cover art), I still had dreams of scoring a nice vinyl copy for the collection. A native of San Francisco, Vince Guaraldi remains one of America’s most beloved and best-selling jazz artists. Mind you, I mean no offense to the good folks at Craft Recordings, who indeed have every right to offer these fun, non-audiophile variants for Peanuts collectors and fans around the world — have at it, I say!

If you live on an island or a remote area, we have to charge you the additional island/ remote area surtax. Vince Guaraldi’s score from the classic 1965 animated Peanuts special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, is subject of a major reissue campaign from Craft Recordings. A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of those albums that fits a peaceful household wishing to avoid ostentatious celebration with tunes just as iconic as the TV special it accompanies but without the overdone pop-culture abrasiveness of Jingle Bells. The super deluxe, 2LP and single CD editions follow on 2 December (was 14 October), via Craft Recordings.However, Vince Guaraldi will always be known as the man who introduced generations of children to the joys of jazz – having scored years’ worth of PEANUTS specials - certainly, the instantly recognizable “ Linus and Lucy” remains his most famous track. However, if you love this album and want to hear Vince Guaraldi and his trio in as close-to-first-gen quality as possible, then you owe it to yourself to hear this new version. If the remix was handled with loving care, there is certainly the potential for an improved — or at least different — listening experience.
