The Complete Peanuts 1975-1976 is shipping a bit early (no, this is not an April Fool’s joke.) Life is full, and I haven’t had a chance to complete reading my copy, but I will say that the introduction is probably my favorite of the series thus far. Robert Smigel’s rather …

Now available for preorder is Peanuts Portraits, a new album of old tracks, including some previously-unreleased takes. Some of it is pure Guaraldi, other parts are George Winston covering Guaraldi’s characters tunes.
