A pile of reups tonight - mostly relatively recent items with links that went missing - plus a few remastered items of interest. These are all by request.
Below are links to the original posts, which have more information on each record and new links in the comments. There are links to all these files in the comments to this post.
First, the remasters:
Barbara Cook - Songs of Perfect Propriety. First LP by the Broadway star, I believe still unreissued. Consists of unusual settings of Dorothy Parker poems by Seymour Barab.
Foss - Piano Concerto No. 2, Waxman - Sinfonietta. Famed film composer Franz Waxman conducts his own Sinfonietta, along with Lukas Foss's second piano concerto (alternately Hindemithian and rumbustious), with the composer as soloist.
The reups:
Mitropoulos in Minnesota: Milhaud, Ravel, and Rachmaninoff. Dimitri Mitropoulos was always a compelling conductor in 20th century music. Here we have two LPs, one of Milhaud and Ravel, and another of Rachmaninoff's second symphony. What Mitropoulos's Minneapolis Symphony lacked in polish, it almost made up in commitment.
Claude Thornhill - Piano and Rhythm. A nearly complete collection of the pianist-bandleader's piano recordings.
New York Jazz Quartet. This LP with the vaguely distasteful title "Goes Native" features accordionist Mat Mathews (a favorite of mine) and flutist Herbie Mann (not such a favorite of mine).
The New Christmas Songs for 1952. I guess I am a little late with this one (several weeks or several decades, depending on how you look at it). Compiles Coral Records' holiday fare from the Ames Brothers, Don Cornell, Eileen Barton and Johnny Desmond.

Many thanks, Buster!
Thanks, gents - always a pleasure to hear from you!
That redo on the New Christmas Songs of 1952 Record will be the first file in my Christmas 2016 Downloads. :) Thanks for starting that collection off on the right foot. 64 years later and still good stuff. :)
Ernie - Nice of you to consider this an early 2016 Christmas share, rather than a belated 2015 share!
Buster, you're always sharing beautiful music. Your choices in music are so stately and graceful: a small haven of civilization in an otherwise uncivilized internet :)
