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' LP includes the complete 14 track score plus never before heard music - also celebrating 75 years of Peanuts®. The vinyl is made out of recycles record materials.

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.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
