Both sides of the picture disc carry scenes from the special laid out as a zoetrope: film the record while it spins, with a phone camera set to 30 frames per second, and the artwork animates. The album is cut at 45 RPM, twelve tracks to a side, and includes a new essay by Sean Mendelson. The label notes that each pressing is unique and that its color may differ slightly from the product images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special first aired on October 27, 1966. Charles Schulz wrote it, Bill Melendez animated it and Lee Mendelson produced it. Guaraldi recorded the score on October 4, 1966, at Desilu's Gower Street Studio in Hollywood, with John Scott Trotter as arranger and conductor. The band was Guaraldi on piano with Monty Budwig on bass, Colin Bailey on drums, Emmanuel Klein on trumpet, John Gray on guitar and Ronald Lang on woodwinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo soundtrack album existed until 2018, when Craft first issued the music. After Lee Mendelson's death in December 2019, his children found the original quarter-inch session reels, long presumed lost, and a 2022 edition was rebuilt from those tapes with Guaraldi's complete cues and several alternate takes. This record carries that 24-track program, and the last seven tracks on Side B are alternate takes. The album has reached No. 1 on Billboard's Kid Albums chart. Peanuts historian Derrick Bang, quoted by the label, writes that Guaraldi \"emphatically established the PEANUTS 'musical personality' with this third outing.\"\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\/preorder-vince-guaraldi-a-charlie-brown-thanksgiving?variant=47322210697374\"\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 888072786806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Craft Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.7.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Craft Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48312228282526,"sku":"EVP-E158B371-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/VinceGuaraldi_GreatPumpkin_2026_Zoetrope_Front_Back.png?v=1790052121","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/vince-guaraldi-its-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown-zoetrope-picture-disc-lp","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
