The program is the 2022 rebuild, drawn from Vince Guaraldi's original session reels rather than from the television audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 album that preceded it, subtitled Music from the Soundtrack, reached stores on October 5 of that year and had to work around missing tapes. With the session reels presumed gone, Craft assembled seventeen tracks from the finished broadcast audio: the dialogue came out, while the edits, fades and sound effects cut for television stayed in. That version ran a little over twenty minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reels surfaced in 2020, in boxes marked with the special's working title, Big Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Deluxe Entertainment Services Group transferred the surviving tapes at 192 kHz\/24-bit, and Vinson Hudson handled restoration and mastering. The tapes held complete, unedited monaural takes, so most cues here run longer than the versions trimmed to fit the animation. The result runs a little over thirty minutes, and seven alternate takes fill the back half of Side B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot everything was on the reels. Several cues taped after the October 1966 session were still missing, among them Snoopy and the Leaf, Military Drum March, Fanfare, Breathless and Graveyard Theme (Trick or Treat), and those selections are carried here from the mono television soundtrack. The Great Pumpkin Waltz had appeared once before, on the 1998 compilation Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits, in a version taken from that same television audio; the session master is used instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJason Mendelson, Sean Mendelson and Mark Piro produced the 2022 edition, with expanded liner notes by Peanuts historian Derrick Bang. In 2024 the album reached No. 6 on Billboard's Top Traditional Jazz Albums chart and No. 9 on Top Jazz Albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraveyard Theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnoopy and the Leaf\/Frieda (With the Naturally Curly Hair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Pumpkin Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Brown Theme\/Charlie Brown Theme (Minor Theme)\/Graveyard Theme (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Pumpkin Waltz (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Red Baron\/Military Drum March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Pumpkin Waltz (2nd Reprise)\/The Great Pumpkin Waltz (3rd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraveyard Theme (Trick or Treat) (2nd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanfare\/Breathless\/Graveyard Theme (Trick or Treat) (3rd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Brown Theme (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathless (2nd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's a Long Way to Tipperary\/There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding\/Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag\/Roses of Picardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraveyard Theme (Trick or Treat) (4th Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy (2nd Reprise)\/Linus and Lucy (3rd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Brown Theme (2nd Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy (Alternate Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraveyard Theme (Alternate Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Brown Theme (Alternate Reprise Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy (Alternate Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Pumpkin Waltz (Alternate Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinus and Lucy (Alternate Reprise Take 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Brown Theme (Alternate Reprise Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVince Guaraldi at Evergreen Vinyl, 5 titles with this one:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vince-guaraldi-a-charlie-brown-christmas\"\u003eA Charlie Brown Christmas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vince-guaraldi-be-my-valentine-charlie-brown?variant=46471324106910\"\u003eBe My Valentine, Charlie Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vince-guaraldi-a-charlie-brown-thanksgiving-indie-exclusive-pink-jelly-bean-vinyl?variant=67473238753438\"\u003eA Charlie Brown Thanksgiving\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vince-guaraldi-its-a-mystery-charlie-brown-black-vinyl?variant=48249346982046\"\u003eIt's A Mystery, Charlie Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 888072436848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Craft Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.9.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Craft Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67768478728350,"sku":"EVP-D3EBCC0E-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/VGT_PumpkinCharlieBrown_Packshot_Black.png?v=1792763240","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/vince-guaraldi-its-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown-black-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
