The new expanded edition is released to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Peanuts and features the original album, as well as eleven unreleased outtakes, newly remastered and mixed by Paul Blakemore. Also included are new liner notes by Derrick Bang. The album will be released digitally and as a 2-CD set on April 4. Visit Amazon to pre-order the record in both formats.
