A Charlie Brown Christmas Exclusive Starburst LP
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. Ever since its debut in 1965, the Vince Guaraldi Trio's album A Charlie Brown Christmas has reigned as a Yuletide classic. The beloved Peanuts animated special from which it sprang was a sensation the first time it aired on CBS-TV, and so was its...www.newburycomics.com
It initially came out to order in October I think:
You know who does loads of exclusive limited runs and never has any of the inventory/shipping issues? Newbury Comics.
I’m fairly certain that I have their pressing of this album from 2016(?) it was on just plain red. Sounds great to me. I’d recommend this one.
Edit: it’s this one Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas
I bought the green from Amazon for about 15 bucks. That was a year or two ago, but it always drops in price and it's easy to get. There are so many pressings of it at this point
Just because I didn't see anyone clarify this, there are different pressings of this, not counting all the colors. If it's the "Audiophile" one linked in the twitter post, it isn't the same as Newbury or the green one on Amazon. The "free" shipping @Dead C is talking about with that other release is definitely applying here as well.It's the "Free" shipping that you're paying for on every individual record, even if multiple records ship together or you're not a member and paying for the shipping too. Hope that helps. Here's a one time use 10% off code
Oh no worries, they'll probably take it from somebody that does have his direct email lolJust because I didn't see anyone clarify this, there are different pressings of this, not counting all the colors.

It is however, available on Amazon for $24 in black here:
Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas [LP] - Amazon.com Music

I can't speak to which version is better. I got the AP version a few years ago and it was worth $30.
It's ridiculous that they told you tough luck and then suddenly "found" one after you complained. Completely unacceptable.

How have these nimrods not had a data breach yet?So, I got two VMP packages today. Both contained items held back from previous orders (Guaraldi and Stones, respectively). Both boxes also contained ALL THE OTHER RECORDS IN THE ORIGINAL ORDERS WHICH I HAVE AREADY RECEIVED...
This is on top of the double Coltrane from last week.
No wonder their inventory is completely fucked. Everyone's getting multiple copies of multiple albums...
Jesus. Good on him, But it shouldn't take emailing Matt to get the product you paid for. This situation is so odd.
Plot twist, comes with a free beanie!Yep it was unexpected. Haha. He said he had a copy on his desk he would send. He also said that he can’t do this for every situation etc. I’ll let you guys know when it shows up.

TBH, this is probably his personal copy. There is a history of the VMP owners/founders parting with their personal copies of an album if a member missed out due to an error. While it should never have had to happen in the first place, I do applaud him sending you one.Yep it was unexpected. Haha. He said he had a copy on his desk he would send.

2 cents.
Question, How much does A 2 LP album weigh? My single copy of Mobb Deep is being delivered by UPS and its 1.40 LBS. Seems a little heavy and I'm waiting on another 4 records from them with no shipping info as of now.
A double lp will weigh about 1.4 lbs (I think my Morby PIF was that weight).Question, How much does A 2 LP album weigh? My single copy of Mobb Deep is being delivered by UPS and its 1.40 LBS. Seems a little heavy and I'm waiting on another 4 records from them with no shipping info as of now.
This is for your November box?I figured I've waited long enough and finally added my email to the CS pile asking where tf my records are.
TIdal Waves is their own label (I dealt with them on their Steve Grossman release with a issue I was having a year or so ago) but they are distributed by LITA. Sources are not analog, FYI. Very nice people.Tidal Waves will definitely have a version. I'm probably going down to the LITA store today to buy the lady a mug. If I do, I'll see if Brad knows anything.
