I remember the Charlie Brown specials on TV when I was very young and enjoyed both the stories and the music. It is quite possible that the songs on this disc are they very first jazz recordings I have ever heard. The hybrid SACD is great as I can listen to the CD layer in my car, and then hear the hi-rez layer on my home system. The DSD stream has a smoother, more analog sound than the PCM. The performance by the Vince Guraldi Trio is fantastic. I have played this disc a few times for friends without telling them that it is a Charlie Brown film soundtrack and they ask me what that great jazz disc is. They are surprised when I tell them what it is. I have to tell them before the disc gets to track 6 (Linus And Lucy) because that song is a familiar theme and gives the idenity of the disc away. The only thing I don't like about this disc is that it does not have a 5.1 surround mix, only stereo.

The more SACD's I get, the more impressed I get with the sound. Of all of them, I think piano comes out sounding the best and sounding the most real. This CD is no exception. It sounds like I have Vince Guaraldi playing piano right in my living room.

The music is pretty good and brings back the familiarity of the Charlie Brown TV specials.

The picture on the CD says it all. How can you not love it? If you've always loved the soundtrack to the Charlie Brown shows, this CD will be a treasure! SACD is just the icing on the cake!

I really enjoyed the cd that i ordered and it is so clear and perfect.I played it on Christmas Day for my guest and it was a hit. The music was perfect dinner music without being so holiday.

Setting aside the fact that I've been a huge Peanuts fan since I was a small child, this is a great SACD either way. I love the Vince Guaraldi Trio's style and it's a real thrill for a jazz music fan to be able to hear such a good presentation without have benefit of of pro stereo system & turntable! I typically buy jazz on "high-end" audio formats like SACD if it's available, but I have to admit, that I appreciate the hybrid SACD format here as well, so I can listen on my iPod while I'm working.

Great music!This was a big part of the why Charlie Brown specials were so popular...the music!

The sleeve came in excellent condition. The record itself had a ton of problems, with constant loud pops, cracks, and infrequent but somewhat serious skips. Overall, I cant expect a rare album such as this to be perfect, so I guess it's fine
