Issued as part of the Guaraldi 75th Anniversary series, this extended vinyl edition presents the complete score alongside bonus material from the original sessions and additional jazz recordings made around the same period. The special, which originally aired February 1, 1974, was the 11th Peanuts television production for which Guaraldi composed and performed the music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuaraldi brings his unmistakable melodic sensibility to a playful, funky score built around pieces including \"Mystery Theme,\" \"It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown,\" \"Sassy Sally,\" \"Cops and Robbers,\" \"Sally's Blues,\" \"Joe Cool\" and \"Little Birdie.\" Performing piano, electric piano and electric guitar, Guaraldi is joined across the Mystery sessions by bassist Seward McCain, drummers Mike Clark and Eliot Zigmund, and trumpeter Tom Harrell. The expanded program reaches beyond the music heard in the finished special with alternate performances and revealing session material, including the previously unused \"Snoopy Holmes,\" an alternate take of \"It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown,\" a \"Vibraslap Mix\" of \"Mystery Theme,\" studio banter, an alternate Vince Guaraldi whistle performance of \"Little Birdie,\" a rhythm-section mix of \"Cops and Robbers,\" and a stripped-down \"Just Vince Mix\" of \"Joe Cool.\" Two jazz standards recorded around the same period, \"Autumn Leaves\" and Charlie Parker's \"Billie's Bounce,\" feature Ron McClure on upright bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recordings were restored and mastered by Vinson Hudson, with the Mystery material mixed by Terry Carleton at Bones and Knives Studio.
