Yes, I known you’ve probably purchased a version or two of Vince Guaraldi’s famed take of the classic TV show A Charlie Brown Christmas. So, do you really need another one? Well, let’s just say that for the first time you finally get the famous interplay between Schroeder and Lucy regarding the proper way to play “Jingle Bells”. If that’s a deal maker, than go for it.
Besides the eleven songs on the idolized album, depending if you get the multiple cd/vinyl or single cd set, you’ll be blessed by alternate takes of “O Tannenbaum”, “Greensleeves” and “Christmas Is Coming” among others, and it’s amazing how one never tires of hearing these fresh and joyful renditions. Something was in the air, and the music reminds us all of a simpler time when the real definition of the meaning of Christmas could be stated to the watching world. Where’s today’s Linus to declare the good news?
