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. 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 Pumpkin had never been released in any audio format until a CD arrived in 2018 from Craft Recordings. In 2019, Craft brought that premiere soundtrack presentation to standard black and limited glow-in-the-dark vinyl. Now, it’s returning from the label in a new 45 RPM pressing on orange pumpkin-shaped vinyl just in time for Halloween!
