For the first time ever, Vince Guaraldi's 1974 "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (Original Soundtrack Recording - Peanuts 75th Anniversary Edition)" premieres, with the complete 19 track score plus 1 special bonus track - on CD.
The holiday classic was written and created by Charles Schulz, directed by Phil Roman and produced by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson. The Guaraldi score is finally available on CD, vinyl and digital. Mixed and mastered for audiophiles, jazz lovers, and Peanuts® fans everywhere from the original 2" session tapes to a 192kHz/24bit master.
The record Includes Guaraldi hits like "Peppermint Patty," "Easter Theme," and "Snoopy and Woodstock". And includes a special bonus track: "Woodstock's Medley" performed by Guaraldi torch-bearer David Benoit (piano) with original Guaraldi sidemen Seward McCain (Bass) and Mike Clark (drums) - recorded 50 years later at the same Hyde Street studio where the soundtrack was recorded in San Francisco.
From the elegant title theme, to some Guaraldified Beethoven, to the profoundly catchy central theme of "Woodstock's Dream," Guaraldi's indelible score has surprises for everyone to enjoy this spring and year-round.
Beyond the composer's playing on piano, electric piano, harpsichord, and electric guitar, McCain plays electric bass, Robert Clare plays flute, Glenn Cronkhite and Eliot Zigmund play drums, and John Scott Trotter supervised the music.
This album is a wonderful Easter treat 50+ years in the making. The album was mixed by Clark Germain at WonderWorld Studio, and restored and mastered by Vinson Hudson, and produced by Sean and Jason Mendelson. 
The CD includes an 8-page insert with art from the special and liner notes that give a track-by-track analysis by producer Sean Mendelson and notes by producer Jason Mendelson and Derrick Bang (author of "Vince Guaraldi at the Piano"). The CD has additional photographs and images of historical artifacts.
The vinyl has additional photographs and images of historical artifacts.
