'A Charlie Brown Christmas' Vince Guaraldi Trio 45 RPM is here!!!!

Absolutely. The very first LP to come off the line could be in cover #358.
For all we know the first 50 pressed LPs may be in covers #501 -#550. And those were mailed to Hong Kong the very first day. Limited number edition is just a number on the cover.

 

If someone did want one of the first one's. they could buy the test press that Acoustic Sounds is selling.

True. OTOH, a test pressing may not represent the final approved product. It could well be a rejected test. Highly collectable? Yes.

 

I think I hear the sound of Chad processing Ben's payment.

 

what are some examples of things that would make a test pressing rejected exactly?

 

Just about anything. Maybe the pressing is off-center.

 

that would add a highly collectable "value" to a test pressing?

 

No. Just the fact that it is a test makes it collectable.
I don't buy them, but some people like to collect stuff just because it is a test. OTOH, it doesn't have to be a rejected test. It can be an approved test.

 

I got mine today!#398, and its fabulous!!!!!!!

 

I've got #305 - that's my Christmas Eve music taken care of.

 

I got mine last night and when I played it my jaw dropped! This reissue has exceeded my expectations. Congratulations, Steve, on a phenomenal mastering effort.

 

One of the four copies left?

 

I just got mine today, #140 and #324.
I still have to play the #324 tomorrow and keep #140 sealed.

 

I have #0269. If I remember correctly, Gort Mike Cowan (mcow1) has #0268 (kind of a cool coincidence...we became Gorts at the same time).

 

Jvalvano...that is a great picture!

 

#0271 over here

 

Who has #0270, Gary?

 

I just played this again, and I have to say, one more time this year.....WOW

 

The thing I notice most about it is the bass response. At the beginning of "O Tannenbaum," the double bass just leaps out of the right speaker. The solos are all loud and clear. And you can hear Vince's left hand throughout the solo in the middle of "Skating."

I've heard the CDs a jillion times, but this truly was like hearing it for the very first time. Good job!

=B.

 

Sorry, Gorts, I've got #270.

 

You are in good company...


268=MikeCow1
269=MikeDow
270= Stever
271=Ben

 

260 & 353

 

I got mine last week last Tuesday. Been busy and waiting to play, but mine is #0426!
