Vince Guaraldi – A Charlie Brown Christmas

Great press. Full of classic tunes and great quality vinyl. Highly recommend if you like the Peanuts gang!

love the color and that is was a limited release but unfortunately quality is off and very noisy. will probably be looking for a better quality release.

Love the album and the picture disk is great love the image they chose!

“Cracker Barrel exclusive” might be one of the funniest things I’ve seen on here. lmao

Pretty good for a color pressing from Target. I would complain about the surface noise, but it's barely present, so I can't complain.

Mine is exactly the same as this, all runouts match, everything corresponds except mine is black vinyl, not green.

One of the best sounding picture discs I've heard. Listened to it frequently over the Christmas season

I bought this for $10 at a used book store 9 years ago. It is probably the best deal ever for what is absolutely an audiophile pressing of this album. A bit of a hassle to play, given the 45rpm pressing which allows for two or three songs per side. It does sound as if you are in the studio listening to a master reel playback, or even like being in the same room of the performance of the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

Packaged quite beautifully with lots of art on the digibook pages. Sadly the discs are rather tough to get out without having to physically put your fingers on both surfaces of the disc (an unfortunate by-product of digibooks as a whole).
I will add that for my money the Atmos mix of the main album is rather underwhelming, but it shouldn't go without mentioning that this isn't exactly a soundtrack that particularly lends itself great to a surround sound mix. I may take issue with it, but it's not particularly an album that you can really expect a lot from if you're looking for a truly gripping surround sound experience. It does make me wonder why they chose to do that, but I'm aware that remixing for Atmos has been the big music industry trend for a while as Dolby has been pushing for it heavily everywhere they can. If you're looking to buy it for that, then you're not going to get much. I do also wonder why they did two different formats (192/24 and 96/24) of the 2022 remix rather than only one of the 2022 and one of the original stereo mix, but it's no big deal since it is at least on the CD. There's a lot of great outtakes if you're interested in those as well, and overall this is a nice little collector's item.

This record sounds great UNTIL you reach the end of each side. Tons of surface noise, pops etc.
records been cleaned with a spin-clean to no avail.
