A Charlie Brown Christmas 24/192 Qobuz


Who has listened to this this season? If this doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies I don't know what will. Almost finished streaming the remastered and expanded version, 14 tracks, yet it is only 43 minutes, from Qobuz on high res, and not the best recording by any means, but sounds pretty decent. Some hiss, large soundstage, and of course many tunes that could have been 10 times as long as they are. Skating is just 2:25? Come on! And this was produced 60 years ago!

I think I will hear it in its entirety again when it is done. Maybe I'll try the 24 track version next.

Been listening to an old cassette and then CD of this for years.

We played a cassette of Vince's non-specific-holiday "Peanuts" music @ our wedding reception (small local restaurant booked for 50 guests) in 1992 and then again for my wife's 50th B-Day with 50 guests in attendance.

"50" would seem to be my number "9".

Great Holiday choice.

Oh yes--a choice cut of beef is getting up there! I was shocked when I saw the prices. Last year was pretty pricey, also. We did a crown roast for six people-almost $250. This year, Coq Au Vin. We have money leftover for presents :-)

And how many times have have producers, executives, A&R men been wrong! Decca Records The A&R boss, Dick Rowe, told the Beatles they have no future because guitar groups were no longer commercial.
