180g Vinyl 4LP Box Set!
This deluxe vinyl box set spotlights 31 tracks recorded by Guaraldi between 1955 and 1966, presented on four 180-gram vinyl LPs. Also included is a collectible 12" x 24 poster of Guaraldi; a reproduction of a 1960's promotional cutout Vince Guaraldi mustache that can be worn; and a 16-page booklet, featuring rarely seen photos and Guaraldi ephemera, plus liner notes by jazz historian Doug Ramsey.
"Many of us were turned on to jazz before we even knew what it was, thanks to Vince Guaraldi. His soundtracks for the Peanuts television specials were a novel idea in cartoon scoring, yet seemed to perfectly fit the deceptively sophisticated adventures of Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. His originals were some of the best jazz to come from the West Coast scene and a tribute to what can happen when a great muse hits a gifted composer.
"Of course, Guaraldi recorded other material as well, much of which is still in print thanks to his renown. The word "definitive" gets thrown around a lot with compilations, but this... set, The Definitive Vince Guaraldi, gets it just about right. It skims off the best of the early Fantasy records while featuring a generous helping of selections from the television specials. For most people, this is all the Guaraldi anyone will need." - allaboutjazz.com
