Details:

Newly re-discovered from the original recording sessions for Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack for the 1972 TV special "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown."

Includes the original 15 cues from the special with extended performances available for the first time - plus 10 bonus tracks not heard since their recording in 1972. 

Guaraldi brought Dixieland jazz, his classic favorites, and even his voice (for the first time in a Peanuts special) to the soundtrack, which provides the score for Linus's campaign for student body president. 

Highlights include: The complete (over five-minute) "Joe Cool" where Guaraldi sings about one of Snoopy's most famous alter egos; multiple versions of "Incumbent Waltz"; "Deserted Charlie Brown," and the classic "Linus and Lucy" updated for the 70s

The trackes were remixed at Bones and Knives by Terry Carleton, and restored and mastered by Vinson Hudson, and produced by Sean Mendelson and Jason Mendelson. 

The CD has an 8 page insert and the vinyl has a 4-page insert. Both the CD and Vinyl include art from the special and liner notes that give a track-by-track analysis by Derrick Bang (author of "Vince Guaraldi at the Piano") and notes by Sean and Jason Mendelson, sons of Peanuts producer Lee Mendelson.
