The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Just got a copy of Dark Mark Does Christmas 2020. Sitting by the fire listening to Mark Lanegan sing bleak Christmas songs, including one going back to the 15th century, feels like an appropriate way to wrap up 2020. He sounds great on this.
Here is my "audiophile" Christmas Mix again, in both FLAC and MP3.
It was most recently updated last year.
Specifically, the following tracks are huge upgrades to anything circulating on an official digital release... 02 Bing Crosby - White Christmas 03 Gene Autry - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer 07 Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad
These are long unavailable in the stereo mixes heard here... 05 The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride 20 Darlene Love - Marshmallow World
And this is remixed from the 3-track master but is only available on an SACD surround layer... 08 Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

I snagged a repress of Booker T & the MG’s In The Christmas Spirit, and this version of Silent Night is an immediate highlight:

This is a Fan-Made Release and is not for sale!!!
You have listed 60% of all Christmas songs in recorded history. They really start to get repetitive after like 2 hours of December.
