A Charlie Brown Christmas

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. Disc one features the new stereo mix of the album, plus the original remastered 1965 mix, while disc two through four offer more than 50 never-before-heard outtakes from five recording sessions, as Guaraldi and his bandmates craft cues like 'Christmas Is Coming' and 'Skating.' Disc five delivers the new stereo mix in hi-resolution audio, as well as Dolby Atmosr on Blu-ray audio. Housed in a hardcover book, the collection guides fans through the entire recording process, thanks to new, in-depth liner notes by Derrick Bang - a Peanuts historian and author of Vince Guaraldi at the Piano (McFarland & Company). Rounding out the package is a special message from the family of Lee Mendelson, the late Emmyr and Peabody Award-winning producer and co-creator of the Peanuts animated specials. Bring on the vintage holiday cheer with the original 1965 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' soundtrack. One of the most beloved and iconic holiday albums of all-time, this best-selling perennial classic continues to introduce generations of children to the joys of jazz, year after year, with songs like 'Christmas Time Is Here' and the instantly recognizable 'Linus and Lucy.' A Charlie Brown Christmas has remained one of the biggest-selling holiday titles since its release in 1965, thanks to annual airings of the TV special. The soundtrack album remains the second-best-selling jazz title in history, and was certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA in late 2016.
