More Remasters, Again Featuring Buddy Clark

More reupped recordings for you today, again by request and again leading with a rejuvenated collection from the great pop singer Buddy Clark.

This featured group is from the early days of this blog, and comprises singles that Clark's label, Columbia, issued on its short-lived 33-rpm microgroove single format in 1948 and 1949. This 7-inch format was intended to supplement the 10-inch and 12-inch LPs that the label introduced at the same time. Record buyers, however, preferred RCA Victor's 45-rpm single format, and Columbia's alternative was abandoned.

The original blog post included three singles from Clark. For this post, I added a newly transcribed single that Clark made with frequent partner Doris Day - "You Was" and "If You Will Marry Me." Warning: the sugar content is very high on these two tunes.

Here are the other selections for today. The headings link to the original posts, where you will find the download links in the comments. The comments to this post have the links to all downloads.

Stravinsky - Firebird Suite; Concerto for Piano and Winds (Noel Mewton-Wood). One of two reups from a great pianist who died young, along with a worthy Walter Goehr-led version of the Firebird Suite.

Schumann - Piano Concerto (Mewton-Wood). The second offering from the talented Mewton-Wood, again with Walter Goehr conducting.

Ella Logan - Sings Favorites from Finian's Rainbow. A solo outing for one of the leads in the original cast of Finian's Rainbow.

Billy Eckstine - Love Songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein. An early LP from Mr. B, and a fine one, courtesy of Will Friedwald and David Lennick. Nelson Riddle leads the band. (mp3)

Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick. That unprepossessing title heralds one of the rarer musical soundtracks, with Dinah Shore, Robert Merrill and Alan Young and a Livingston-Evans score.
