Yes, the album is out now, available on CD, vinyl, digital download and streaming from all the usual suspects - and even as high-res downloads from stores that sell that format. Agreed that it sounds terrific!
If you're interested more about the album's background, how the music masters were found, what work was done to create the album, and so forth, you might want to check out these podcasts with Jason and Sean Mendelson (producers of the album, and sons of Lee Mendelson):

Adding my praise to mstrox's appraisal... Man, this album is gorgeous. Full rich sound, great presence, and so much fun. I have never heard so much detail in this music, I guess because Guaraldi's work takes a bit of a backseat to the comedic character interactions in the TV show sound mix. Very highly recommended.

What exactly is that? Is it a human voice counting "one, two..."?
The voice is mostly composer Vince Guaraldi on the piano mic, as it was on the TV broadcast. Here's album producer Jason Mendelson, son of animation producer Lee Mendelson, discussing this along with his brother and co-producer Sean in an interview with podcaster Heath Holland:

Personally, I find the laid-back, in-the-moment vibe of this release to be part of the album's charm, as it's like being in the room or in a jazz club with Guaraldi and his quartet.

It's a very enjoyable CD and I'm glad it has been released. I do wish all the "One, Two...One, Two, Three, Four" words could have been edited out of so many of the tracks.

You're both right, but yeah, they should have omitted the slates on the soundtrack cues. There were plenty of bonus cues with the slates for that "live" vibe.
Perhaps, but I’m just so grateful to finally have this wonderful music on a CD!:-)
