When MoFi broke his mind.When did “vape45” start focusing on OGs?
Pretty sure that 2017 isn’t AAA (and not KPG)? The last AAA cut was the AP.Discogs entry has some discussion in comments:

I'll probably stick with my 2017 AAA (side one) KPG cut to stick to a holiday vinyl diet.

I can't say definitively, the comments and replies here suggest AAA on side 1.Pretty sure that 2017 isn’t AAA (and not KPG)? The last AAA cut was the AP.

A Charlie Brown Christmas Goes Audiophile - Icon Fetch
Vince Guaraldi Trio – A Charlie Brown Christmas (180 Gram Vinyl Edition) (Craft Recordings / Concord) A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of the greatest holiday albums of all-time. Not only did this music propel the original Peanuts TV special, it’s also extremely cool. Think about it – this was...iconfetch.com
Of course, we have some discussion at SHF:
Charlie Brown Christmas vinyl - all current copies from digital master?
It seems there are about 20 different colored vinyls and packagings of this album releases every year, but they all say “Mastered by George Horn,...forums.stevehoffman.tv
This is a great overview of the many colored vinyl reissues by year & vendor:
Comments here seem to shed some light that only the AP is fully analog:
I was mistaken about KPG, mea culpa.
I just ordered this from Ella too. Due Thursday. We shall see.Ella records off Discogs. They usually have copies but I held out for a NM/NM. If they come up without an obi, they're around $80, which is what I got. Ella has been very reliable with grading so I don't mind the premium they charge.
It sounds verrrry good. I bought this since my AP copy was getting worn. My daughter and wife play this over and over during Christmastime so I just wanted a copy I could play to death and be able to replace at some point if needed. This Craft reissue sounds very similar to the AP. I’ve never had another vinyl pressing. It’s definitely cleaned up compared to the AP. I don’t hear tape hiss and the instruments are clear as they’ve ever sounded. Honestly, I actually might prefer this version. Only wish was that the jacket was a heavy duty stoughton tip on style gatefold. I would’ve paid another $5-10 for that. At any rate, get this version.christmas came early.....the boomboom cut of Charlie Brown Chrimbo arrived last night! the deluxe comes with craft-branded rice paper inners in a gatefold jacket. i'll need to compare it to my other copies but on first listen, it sounds great.
here's a bunch of info about the release:

I am really liking it too. I have to dig out my VMP pressing, but the instruments are very clear and separation is great on this one.. I probably won't listen to the demos disc too much but it is fun to give them a listen and hear how different some of the takes and versions of songs are. I just wish it had Greensleeves on it!It sounds verrrry good. I bought this since my AP copy was getting worn.

Greensleeves on the album proper? Because it is included in the bonus disc with Take 6 of the cut but yeah I grew up listening to the cd that had greensleeves at the end of the album as well.I am really liking it too.

Amazon link at $34 as of 10/18/22
Any information as to why Greensleeves isn't on this?

Last year's discussion on the 2021 VMP version:
This tribute is fun, not on vinyl at this time (that I could find)
I have this one and it's perfectly fine. It sounds excellent and I spin it twice a year tops.This is the copy that I have, curious if the new 2LP version will be a huge improvement or just stick with what I have?

was a discussion about this one a little bit a page or two back. that one seems to be AAA on side A and digital on side B to fix some tape dropouts. @marshall is probably right in that it's probably an album most people listen to once or twice a year so you'll probably be more than fine with it. I'll try to do a back to back listen of this new one and the 2021 VMP i have. I'll likely give one to my brother. The 2021 was an improvement over my 1988 pressing. And on first listen I wanna say this new version was better than the 2022 but has been over a year since I listened to the VMP one.This is the copy that I have, curious if the new 2LP version will be a huge improvement or just stick with what I have?
