Album US 1968 on Warner Bros. - Seven Arts Records label
Jazz (Contemporary Jazz)
1st Pressing on Dark Green label: 1968 From the back of the LP: Oh, good grief! They've gone and done it. They've put that jazzy music from Peanuts television specials on record. Those piquant waltzes, fox trots and box steps that Vince Guaraldi wrote for You're In Love Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown's All-Stars, It's Your Dog, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. What's more, they're played by My. Guaraldi himself, on piano and electric harpsichord, with a noble assist from Carl Burnett (drums), Stanley Gilbert (bass) and Eddie Duran (electric guitar). Four grown-up believers giving heart-to-heart resuscitation to the little world of good 'ol wishy-washy Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Schroeder and the impenetrable "Pig-Pen." Right here on shiny black vinyl. Big sisters may be the crabgrass of life (Linus), happiness may be a warm puppy (Lucy), and dancing may be the only pure art form (Snoopy), but Vince Guaraldi is the musical Gospel according to Peanuts. To quote Charlie Brown when his baseball team lost another game, 184 to nothing: "How can we lose when we're so sincere?"
