This deluxe version features a brand new Stereo Mix of the classic album remastered from the original three- and two-track sources, as well as thirteen previously unheard outtakes, highlights taken from five separate recording sessions. Amazing in their own right, these unheard versions give insight into how this iconic score took shape. The 4-panel digipack with 24pp booklet includes a new foreword from TV Special Producer Lee Mendelson’s family, as well as new liner notes from Peanuts historian, Derrick Bang.
