It's a New Release, Charlie Brown! "Great Pumpkin" Arrives on CD, LP From Original Session Masters

June 15, 2022 By Joe Marchese 4 Comments

Vince Guaraldi Its the Great Pumpkin 2022

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  The Emmy-nominated 1966 television special was the third overall for Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts series and the second to be holiday-themed, after A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Upon its October 27, 1966 premiere, it earned a whopping 49 share in the ratings and was so successful that CBS re-aired it every year through 2000, with ABC picking up the tradition after that.  Yet despite a beloved score by Vince Guaraldi (who else?), a soundtrack album to Great

Have Yourself a Merry Little Discmas...

Wow! And just like that, another year has flown by. Just a few weeks before The Second Disc hits its 12th anniversary(!), this Christmas Eve it is our custom to look back on the last 12 months and take some time to think fondly of the music, magic, memories and friends that made our lives worth living. As if last year wasn't unconventional enough, 2021 packed more pop, clicks, skips and distortion than the most misguided vinyl pressings. We got vaccinated, we got boosted, we tentatively

First up is the deluxe edition of the score to 2003's Elf.  The Jon Favreau-directed film starred Will Ferrell in his first lead role after
