Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas / 45RPM 2LP Analogue Productions

Please note: limited availability!

Probably the coolest Christmas album ever: “A Charlie Brown Christmas”! The soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio for “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was first released in December 1965 by Fantasy Records.

In addition to Guaraldi's compositions, the album also features several jazz interpretations of traditional Christmas songs. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” continues to enjoy unbroken popularity: since 2009, the soundtrack

has been a regular feature in the US Billboard album charts and has sold over five million copies to date!

There is, of course, a reason for this success, as few albums are as deeply rooted in American culture as “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Guaraldi's charming, swinging music for the classic CBS television cartoon series brought

jazz into millions of homes, wrapped in tinsel, nostalgia, and the chorus “Christmas Time Is Here.” With his melodic sensibility and West Coast coolness, Guaraldi translated the moodiness and melancholy of the Peanuts gang

into pure musical gold. Whether it's the airy piano riff of “Skating,” the cheerful finger-snapping melody of “Linus And Lucy,” or the delicate brush strokes of “Greensleeves,” this album achieved what few would have thought

possible: it made bebop a Christmas tradition!

Analogue Productions honors this milestone with a sonically flawless, strictly limited to 2,750 copies and numbered UHQR double LP set. The two records, cut at 45 RPM, pressed on 200-gram Clarity Vinyl®, and housed in

scratch-resistant tip-on gatefold jackets from Stoughton Printing, are based on the original tapes, which were remastered specifically for this reissue by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Each UHQR is manufactured by

Acoustic Sounds at industry leader Quality Record Pressings (QRP), inspected after pressing and receives a hand-signed certificate of authenticity: only the truly flawless copies make it to market. The UHQR version of “A Charlie

Brown Christmas” is a truly luxurious collector's item that will allow you to rediscover this indispensable Christmas classic!

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
