Vince Guaraldi Trio: A Charlie Brown Christmas (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Christmas time is here! The iconic jazz soundtrack to the beloved Peanuts holiday special--an essential for every record collection--is back in a special 'snowstorm' color repress. Not only is it one of the greatest Christmas albums ever recorded, it’s also the second best-selling jazz record of all time, bested only by Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue. If you’re in need of a holiday gift for the audiophile in your heart, this is it! Vince Guaraldi’s timeless piano melodies matched with Jerry Granelli’s swinging drum patterns and Fred Marshall's plucked bass lines make for a cozy listening experience, perfect for snuggling up by the fireplace on a cold December night. Includes original compositions "Linus and Lucy" and "Christmas Time Is Here," as well as traditional carols "O Tannenbaum" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." 12 tracks on 'snowstorm' colored vinyl, recommended.
