Vince Guaraldi - You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown - Limited 50th Anniversary ZOETROPE LP

     Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the special, LMFP is thrilled to present the premiere release of Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack for 1975's "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown". This 45 RPM 12" Zoetrope LP includes the complete 14 track score plus never before heard music - also celebrating 75 years of Peanuts®. The Zoetrope, a Guaraldi and Peanuts first, features many scenes from the beloved special. The foundation layer of the album is an Eco Mix.
     The classic special was written and created by Charles Schulz, directed by Phil Roman, and produced by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson. Guaraldi's score is finally available on CD, vinyl and digital. The record was mixed and mastered for audiophiles, jazz lovers, and Peanuts fans everywhere from the original 2" session tapes to a 192kHz/24bit master. Beyond the composer's playing, Seward McCain plays electric bass, Mark Rosengarden plays drums, and John Scott Trotter supervised the music.
     The record Includes fresh takes on "Peppermint Patty," and "Linus and Lucy," and adds a special bonus track, "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown (Unused Opening Cues)" (performances left out of the special, that now start the B side). "Motocross" is the featured theme, and there are four additional bonus tracks from (1973 LMFP project) "Bicycles Are Beautiful" scored by Guaraldi, who is joined by McCain on bass and Glenn Cronkhite on drums for those tracks.
     50+ years in the making, Clark Germain mixed the album at WonderWorld Studio, Vinson Hudson restored and mastered the record, and it was produced by Sean and Jason Mendelson. The vinyl includes a 4-page insert with art from the special, 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") along with an essay by Craig Schulz. The record is a Zoetrope that when played will show animated scenes from the special on both sides, designed by Drew Tetz.
