Description
Here is a rare copy of Vince Guaraldi's Eleanor Rigby/Peppermint Patty on the D&D record label. This 45 is in Excellent condition and it will be sold with a plain white paper sleeve. The following is an excerpt from Vince Guaraldi at the Piano, by Derrick Bang:
The pianist hadn't released an album since his third and final collaboration with Bola Sete, which had hit stores a year earlier, and was culled from even older sessions at El Matador. Given his ongoing legal spat with Fantasy, Guaraldi wasn't about to do anything with them, but his ongoing contractual limbo prevented any releases-or new recording contracts-with other existing labels.
Only one option remained, and so Guaraldi went into business for himself. Logically using his company-D&D Associates-as a model, he named the resulting label D&D Records.
The debut 45's A-side featured an arrangement of " Eleanor Rigby" with Kelly Bryan and John Rae. The B-side resurrected the longer version of "Peppermint Patty," arranged by John Scott Trotter, that Guaraldi had recorded during his studio session for You're in Love, Charlie Brown. Guaraldi, certainly no fool, understood that this lively Peanuts theme likely would help sell his fledgling company's first release.
The tune's credit line is a bit droll, acknowledging Trotter's arrangement and a performance by the "Vince Guaraldi Consort": John Rae on drums, Monty Budwig on bass, Frank Rosolino on trombone, John Gray on guitar, and Ronald Lang on woodwinds. Over time, this cue would become one of Guaraldi's rarest recordings, since it never appeared anywhere but this single.
A great item for your Guaraldi collection!
