Original Score by Vince Guaraldi Sextet
Original Broadcast 01/28/75
Featuring Seward McCain (Bass), Vince Lateano (Drums) and Vince Guaraldi (Keyboards).

"Sometimes I don't think you realize that you could lose me.
Are you sure you want to suffer the tortures of the memories of a lost love?
Do you know the tortures of the memories of a lost love?
It's awful! It will haunt you night and day! You'll wake up at night screaming!
You can't eat! You can't sleep! You'll want to smash things!
You'll hate yourself and the world and everybody in it!
Awwwwww! Are you sure you want to risk losing me?"

SYNOPSIS

"Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" is the 13th prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on the CBS network on January 28, 1975.
It's Valentine's Day again and Charlie Brown dreams the seemingly hopeless dream to receive a valentine from anyone.

Linus buys a heart-shaped box of candy for his teacher, Miss Othmar, but she leaves with her boyfriend and never gets the box although Sally, who has a huge crush on Linus thinks the candy is hers.

Then there's Lucy, who tries to get Schroeder to notice her, a repetitive theme throughout the comic strip but ends up destroying his piano in frustration.

In school where Charlie Brown's class has a valentine's box; all the valentines are distributed. But poor Charlie Brown, the eternal optimist, he never receives any.

THIS SOUNDTRACK

The "Master" Vince Guaraldi and his Sextet are at their best with this classic, melancholy soundtrack. What's different about this score is rather than using the standard piano, Vince performs his sonic magic on a Hammond organ.

The soundtrack is highlighted by different variations of "The Heartburn Waltz" (the "Be My Valentine" title track). While this engaging theme is heard no less than eight times during the course of the Peanuts TV special, they are never quite the same way twice.
Guaraldi vamped and noodled through numerous arrangements utilizing Hammond B3 variations, even though he actually recorded more versions than ultimately were actually used in the show. Only two have been previously released!

In addition to the above, you'll also find other jazzy tunes such as "Never Again",
"There's Been a Change" and "Charlie Brown's Wake-Up", which strangely enough have a distinct similarity to "Heartburn Waltz"!

Please note that on a couple of tunes (as in many soundtrack re-creations),
not all of the fx could be completely removed.

Thanks to MKtheinstrumentalist for supplying the raw audio track and the beautiful editting on the "Paw Pet Overture".
And always, thanks to Derrick Bang for his meticulous work analizing the Industry "use" list, creating the names to most of these tracks.

So for the real Guaraldi fans, this is an absolute "must" to add to your collection
for Valentine's Day or any other day.
Enjoy.

out of sympathy.

As Schroeder passes out the valentines, one of the names he calls out is Joanne Lansing.
Joanne Lansing is the ink and paint supervisor for this and many of the other Peanuts specials.

Snoopy shows off puppets resembling members of the cast and crew.

Wow.

Memories of childhood: begging the parental units to let us stay up "late" (till 9pm) so we could watch The CBS Special Presentation of Charlie Brown on primetime.

Watching the Peanuts Gang was certainly better than the alternative: having to get ready for bed @ 8pm on a school night :)

Those were innocent times alright (especially when compared to our more complicated present existence).

Who would've thought that 40+ years later they could enjoy this event all over again after finding the soundtrack online?

Thank you spetragl
