The first volume of the LMFP collection of Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts® soundtracks with new Indie Exclusive cover art for all 6 CDs. The Box set (the first ever for Peanuts Soundtracks) includes Guaraldi’s complete beloved soundtracks for: "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” (1973),  "It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown" (1969), "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" (1972), "Be My Valentine Charlie Brown" (1975), "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" (1974), and "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown" 1975” – out together to celebrate 75 years of Peanuts! To coincide with the celebration of the anniversary, LMFP is proud to release (exclusively through participating independent record stores) this new cover art edition for each album in this timeless collection of soundtracks derived from the recently discovered original session tapes for EACH TV special. Many of your favorite Guaraldi Peanuts performances across almost ten years of the specials are available in this unique package. Including a different version of “Linus and Lucy” – the Peanuts theme – on each album. Each of the Peanuts’ specials was written and created by Charles Schulz, directed or produced by Bill Melendez and produced by Lee Mendelson. This is the complete Vince Guaraldi score for each of the six animated classics.  Recently discovered in the LMFP vaults, the original recording sessions for Vince Guaraldi's beloved soundtracks have been remixed and remastered for audiophiles and Peanuts® fans everywhere. Includes many bonus tracks, only available with the recent release of this music, several never heard since Vince Guaraldi and his sidemen laid them down in the special’s recording sessions. The albums were engineered by Terry Carleton or Clark Germain, restored and mastered by Vinson Hudson, and produced by Sean and Jason Mendelson.”
