Indie Retail Exclusive, "Magnifying Glass" Clear BioVinyl
Mixed by Terry Carleton at Bones and Knives Studio
Restored & Mastered by Vinson Hudson
Premiere of the 12", BioVinyl LP, celebrating 75 years since Vince Guaraldi started his professional music career. There are four bonus tracks from the "Mystery session" and two additional jazz standards recorded around the same time featuring Ron McClure on bass.
Mystery was the 11th Peanuts special Guaraldi composed and performed piano. The quartet features Seward McCain - bass, and Mike Clark/Eliot Zigmund – drums, and Tom Harrell - trumpet. The special aired on 2-1-1974.
The special was written by Charles Schulz, produced by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson, and directed by Phil Roman.
Available for the first time ever on vinyl. The record was mixed and mastered for audiophiles, jazz lovers, and Peanuts fans everywhere. Terry Carleton mixed Mystery at Bones and Knives Studio, Vinson Hudson restored and mastered the album and Sean & Jason Mendelson produced the record. The LP includes a 4-page insert with art from the special, liner notes by Sean & Jason Mendelson, and Derrick Bang (author of Vince Guaraldi at the Piano), and it comes with a magnifying glass to help solve some of the MYSTERIES in the release.
The ThinkIndie exclusive record comes in clear "magnifying glass" BioVinyl variant. It does not magnify, but it will help with solving all the mysteries to be discovered inside.
