A Charlie Brown Christmas is easily among the best Christmas movies of all time, and the soundtrack has a lot to do with its enduring popularity. To celebrate the film’s 60th anniversary, and the 75th anniversary of Peanuts, Boutique label Craft Recordings is releasing a limited-edition picture disc vinyl record of the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack. The vinyl, which features a zoetrope design, is available to preorder today and hits shelves on Sept. 12.

The zoetrope record, which creates the illusion of animated movement as the record spins, features Peanuts characters caroling in the snow on side A, while side B features characters from the dancing scene. The album’s record sleeve features a cutout design, showing off the picture disc.

Craft Recordings will release several other commemorative editions of the album, including an exclusive Barnes & Noble picture disc version, featuring the skating scene from the film, and a black vinyl pressing in a holographic foil jacket.

Walmart, Best Buy, and Urban Outfitters will also release limited-edition versions, each pressed on different colored vinyl, while Craft Recordings will feature a Clear Glitter version on its website. The Barnes & Noble version hits shelves on Sept. 26, while the other retailer editions will be released at various dates in the fall.

The Charlie Brown movies are available to stream on Apple TV+.
