Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
It must be getting on for a quarter of a
century ago when I first heard a young
John Bowdler begin to make festivalgoers
sit up and take notice of his playing.
Since those days he has continued to
entertain a great many people, and very
early on secured himself a position on
the Blackpool Tower team of organists,
which is where he remains to this day. His
latest CD MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC
( JB0010CD) finds him once again
seated at the keydesk of the famous
WurliTzer with a pretty standard fare
of music to suit all tastes. Nothing
special about the majority of tracks, all
having been recorded many times over
by just about everyone. The exceptions
are HOOP-DEE-DOO, a lively and
interesting Polka. The vocal version was
a 1950 hit record by Perry Como; it was
composed by the show’s music director
Milton Delugg and Frank Loesser, who
went on to prominence composing
for the Broadway musical theatre. The
BLUE GOOSE RAG goes back to 1916
when it was first composed by Charles
Henry Johnson, using the name of
Raymond Birch. Johnson composed an
unusually large amount of rags, including
Crazy Bone, Porcupine and Dill Pickles
Rag, using many pseudonyms. If you
remember David Whitfield then you
are as old, if not older, than me. It
was back in 1957 that he recorded the
ADORATION WALTZ, and here
John has coupled it delightfully with
the famous Erno Rapee & Lew Pollack
composition CHARMAINE. Originally
used as accompaniment for the silent
film What Price Glory, it was first heard
as a sound track on the 1951 film Two
Girls and a Sailor, played by the Harry
4
James Orchestra. Then of course who
could not forget the Mantovani cascading
strings version or even, heaven forbid,
the Bachelors. At first I thought there
was a mistake with the composer of the
PIED PIPER, believing it to be the tune
of the same name associated with DJ
Steve Race. Seems not, because there
are a number of tunes with this title,
and John has chosen the Dave Forrest
composition, by way of a change. One
thing is noticeable about this recording,
to me at least, is that John has included
a good proportion of tunes that are not
played at his usual frenetic pace. In fact
there is a more controlled and emotive
playing than I’ve heard previously, and
this in turn allows the listener a chance
to hear some of the more melodic tone
colours that this WurliTzer possesses.
BEAUTIFUL DREAMER / SOME
DAY MY HEART WILL AWAKE and
I CAN GIVE YOU THE STARLIGHT
prove that point admirably. Even so that
hasn’t stopped him including not one,
but four Marches: DOWN
THE MALL / ACES HIGH/
GREAT LITTLE ARMY and
COLONEL BOGEY. Dig a bit
deeper John… they are down
there I promise you! Although
this is a private release and as
such has not been recorded
by any of the major record
companies, the sound spectrum
equals anything that I’ve heard
from this venue. The CD is
presented with a nice picture
of John at the console, but
why the need to print the tune
listings no less than three times
is a mystery to me! Surely some
up to date biographical notes
would not have gone amiss?
______________________________
Turning back the clock again, it was no
less than 50 years ago when I first became
acquainted with the extraordinary sound
of the Hammond organ played by Lenny
Dee. It was the pioneering era of the
LP recording when I first bought DEELIGHTFUL on Brunswick LAT 8072,
subtitled Organ Solos with a beat. The
year was 1954 and I was a lowly paid
Leading Aircraftsmen stationed in some
god-forsaken camp miles from anywhere,
but my meagre pay at least enabled me
to lay out 39 shillings for the recording
that was to make me forever a fan of this
unique artist: an artist who made Ethel
Smith sound like a beginner!. That LP,
together with three subsequent releases
DEE-MOST / DEE-LIRIOUS and
DEE- LICIOUS now all appear on one
48 track double CD appropriately titled
DOUBLE DEE-LIGHT (JASCD 427)
You want organ with a beat? Then there is
no finer collection than assembled here.
So why has it taken so long for these
recordings to again see the light of day?
The short answer is that Lenny sold all
his Rights to the Master tapes many years
ago, and whichever Company now owns
them seemed never bothered about reissuing them. However, at the end of 50
years the recordings pass into the Public
Domain, and Jasmine Records, a English
recording company were only too happy
to make this superb compilation. The sad
part is that Lenny Dee passed away only
a matter of weeks before the CD hit the
High Street shops. The hi-fi quality of
these recordings is unquestionable, but
equally unquestionable is the importance
of the mysterious factor known as the
Dee quality. It is this unanalysable but
unsurpassable combination of tone and
technique, of sound and substance, which
characterise especially those that make up
his earliest recordings. Lenny Dee did not
start his music career as an organist. At
seven he was playing the banjo; his next
instrument was the piano-accordion. He
Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
was unsure what kind of a musician he
would be when he joined the Navy, and
when he got out of it he enrolled at the
Conservatory of Music in Chicago. It was
there on a G.I. grant, that Lenny took his
first lessons at the organ and he knew that
this was the instrument for him. Soon he
was appearing professionally, and it was
not long before he was booked at some of
the most prominent hotels in the South.
A weekly network made a bid for him;
he also played at Nashville’s Plantation
Club. His contract with Brunswick
records gave him world publicity; and his
first recordings were immediate hits. The
one that rocketed him to prominence
was none other than PLANTATION
BOOGIE which entered the charts in
February 1955 and remained there for
15 weeks. With a dynamic growling
sound, the likes you’ve never heard
before, there is no finer track to lead
the listener into a world of Hammond
organ playing that is full of surprises and
is uniquely his very own. Never has the
organ shown such vigour and versatility.
Dotted throughout the tracks you’ll
come across a couple more Dee originals
in the form of JUMPIN’ ON THE
ORGAN and HOT FOOT BOOGIE.
Listen out too for the fun he has with
LITTLE BROWN JUG, imitating the
sound of man blowing down an empty
jug: YODELIN’ ORGAN has the echos
bouncing off the imaginary Swiss Alps:
HONKY TONK TRAIN BLUES and
ALABAMY BOUND are carried along
with a pulsating railroad rhythm: the
donkey in DONKEY SERENADE is
urged to keep in step: the ghost of Gene
Krupa reappears in CARAVAN and if
there is a cleaner, toe tapping and more
exciting version of 12th STREET RAG
then I have yet to hear it. Apart from
one track, FAN-TANGO where the
end has been chopped off, whoever was
entrusted with mastering the tracks from
original LP copies, has done a super job. I
make no excuse for the lengthy praise of
this CD but in a world that is so full of
electronic ‘orchestral’ sounds, it’s a breath
of fresh air to turn back the clock and
hear an artist who had such command
of a Hammond organ and what’s more,
made it fun to listen to. That man was
‘Mr Entertainment’ Lenny Dee.
Next up is a quartet of historical theatre
organ recordings in the continuing
programme of releases from Pipe Organ
Presentations of America, some of which
are from the original Concert Recording
catalogue of days gone by. THOSE
WERE THE DAYS (POP114) is a
veritable feast of nostalgia, not only as far
as organs go, but organists too. Subtitled
14 British organists on 13 British organs,
only two of the organists are still with
us, Arnold Loxam who was 90 in June,
and the person behind the POP series,
Don Thompson who’s age is classified
information! Of the instruments, only
four remain in playable condition in
their original locations, and a fifth is the
subject of the long awaited day when
it is expected to rise into majestic view
once again. So what is on offer in this
cinema organ cornucopia of delights?
Reginald Dixon is accorded a couple of
typical offerings from the Tower in his
inimitable style, and quickly followed by
the rarely heard ( or recorded ) Watson
Holmes at the Blackpool Opera House
WurliTzer playing POLLY. Remaining
in Blackpool, no compilation of this
sort would be complete without hearing
Horace Finch at the Empress Ballroom
organ. His contributions on an organ
that was utter sacrilege to sell and break
up, are SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE
and a four part POPULAR MEDLEY.
Happily for a lot of people the former
Gaumont Bradford WurliTzer has never
succumbed to the temptations of the
‘biggest is best’ brigade, and its all down
to David Hamilton with I KNOW NOW
and WUNDERBAR. Just a week prior
to it’s removal Don Thompson recorded
at the Granada, Clapham. His choice
is a spirited version of MALAGUENA,
with the sound of the 3/8 WurliTzer
sounding so much sharper and brighter
due to all the seats and furnishings having
already been removed. Don is also heard
playing the PHANTOM BRIGADE,
one of my favourite items, on the
State Kilburn WurliTzer, and then the
rarely heard Spurden Rutt organ which
was in the Regal, Highams Park, with
WHILE WE’RE YOUNG. The one
WurliTzer that everyone is waiting to
hear once again is of course the Granada
Tooting. We get to hear the good and the
great on this Harold Ramsey designed
installation: Jackie Brown with a couple
of railroad tracks, ALABAMY BOUND
and CHOO CHOO SAMBA: Robinson
Cleaver with TURKISH RONDO
and GOLDFINGER: William Davis
with VILIA and THE BULL FROG.
Hearing these tracks makes the long
awaited day even more exciting. Without
the efforts of Len Rawle and a team of
devotee’s this magnificent organ could
have been lost forever. At 8 score years
+ 10 Arnold Loxam has recorded and
broadcast many fine instruments in his
time, and it’s fitting that we should hear
him playing the very organ on which he
made his first Concert Recording debut,
the former Odeon, Leeds WurliTzer. His
contributions are KISS OF FIRE and
PICCOLISSIMO SERENADE. The
same organ is also heard in the hands of
Bryan Rodwell playing I COVER THE
WATERFRONT and then a change of
organ for PUNCH from the PUPPET
SUITE which is performed at Clapham.
The remaining items feature Ronald
Curtis playing the NUN’S CHORUS
at the former Davenport Stockport,
Compton: Hubert Selby, the Cinema
Organ Society Founder playing UNDER
THE LINDEN TREE on one of the
first recordings ever made at Ronald
Curtis’s Paramount Organ Studio,
Compton: Gerald Shaw at the Odeon,
Leicester Sq ‘Duchess’ Compton playing
MARIA DOLORES and LAURA. This
collection of cinema organ greats comes
to an abrupt end with Josef (sic) Seal
at his beautiful Regal, Kingston-onThames WurliTzer with DOWN THE
MALL. When you enjoy, as I have, such
a collection of contrasting styles and
5
Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
sounds it does make you hark back to
the good old days and recall them with
nostalgic affection. An eye catching shot
of the ‘Duchess’ Compton, illuminated
in all her finery, together with brief but
informative sleeve notes, completes this
recording.
______________________________
The second of the three POP releases
features four organs which Don
Thompson has appeared at and recorded
over a period of years, and comes under
the collective title of WEST COAST
WURLITZER (POP 118) The first
port of call: there are four in all, is the
Old Town Music Hall, El Segunda, L.A
which has a lovely 4/22 WurliTzer on
which Don commences his programme,
recorded live in concert back in 1970,
with a selection from the 1936 film
THE KING STEPS OUT, which was
the first starring role for Grace Moore,
alongside a very young Franchot Tone.
The music is by Fritz Kreisler and based
on his stage musical Cissy. I first heard
a potted selection recorded by Henry
Croudson on the Odeon, Manchester
WurliTzer and it has remained one of
my favourites selections ever since. In
his accompanying sleeve notes Don
explains that the next item NOSTALGIA
comes from a suite that organist Walter
Freed, brother of Arthur Freed of movie
production fame, actually wrote for him.
It’s a wistful little number: quite catchy
too. Johann Strauss wrote the lively
PIZZICATO POLKA back in 1860,
and it’s inclusion gives Don a chance to
feature the beautiful Glockenspiel and
piano. A complete contrast next with
one that I have never come across on
6
organ recordings. The PROCESSION
OF THE NOBLES is an arresting
composition by Rimsky-Korsakov and
comes from his lesser known operaballet Mlada. BACH WITH BELLS
ON is based on the famous Wachet
Auf or Sleepers Awake and the Music
Hall programme comes to an end with
VILIA from the stage operetta The Merry
Widow. The WurliTzer in the Nethercutt
Museum, San Sylmar had only 49 ranks
when Don sat at the console back in the
late 1980s. Considerably larger now,
the organ in it’s earlier size was most
certainly a beautiful sounding installation
and Don has grouped together six tunes
in an Easy Listening programme. It
just so happens that AS TIME GOES
BY / CHARADE / DAYS OF WINE
AND ROSES / MOONGLOW and
PICNIC THEMES and the Love Song
from ROMEO & JULIET have all
been featured in films. When Don
indicated that he was compiling this
CD I specially asked him to include a
selection of tunes from his 1969 release
titled The Roaring Twenties. Recorded
on a bright and brassy 3/13 WurliTzer
that was in the Avenue Theatre, Chicago,
the nine items do indeed all come from
the days of speakeasies and racketeering,
or if your prefer, The Untouchables or
Roaring 20’s TV series starring Robert
Stack or Dorothy Provine. Whichever,
the tunes are all redolent of the days
of prohibition, and end with my all
time favourite WILD CAT BLUES.
This Sidney Bechet jazz classic features
the specially built Moller Post Horn,
and brother has that got some bite to
it? The final leg of Don Thompson’s
West Coast journey takes in the Capn’s
Galley Pizza Parlour in Redwood City.
The year is 1973 and owner Bill Brewer
installed the first 4 manual Pizza Parlour
organ, which as Don points out, was
the standard to which all subsequent
parlours aspired. The programme that
Don has chosen basically comprises of
items of a more dramatic nature. These
range from the popular THUNDER
AND LIGHTING POLKA (Strauss
Jnr) / THINGS TO COME MARCH
(Arthur Drummond Bliss) / PRELUDE
TO AC T 3 O F LO H E N G R I N
(Wagner) / MASQUERADE WALTZ
(Khachaturian) / THE PHANTOM
REGIMENT (Anderson) and finally the
Hymn WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE
IN JESUS which brings to a rather
abrupt end a collection of music that this
English born organist has recorded in
over 50 years of playing cinema, theatre,
concert and classical organs of one make
or another.
______________________________
No doubt about it Johnny Seng was an
amazingly gifted performer and proof,
if it indeed were needed, arrives in the
form of THE MELODY LINGERS
ON (POP 117) with the opening track,
Raymond Scott’s POWERHOUSE,
which describes Seng in a singular word.
Cartoon lovers, especially Looney Tunes
fans will recognise the tune as being a
staple musical feature of many a Warner
Brothers production. Next comes the
more restful and romantic LOVE SONG,
although with a complete absence of listed
composers I cannot say with any accuracy
which one of thousands of similarly titled
compositions this is. GIRL TALK is one
of many compositions by Neil Hefti, and
this particular composition formed part
of the Joseph Levin 1965 production of
Harlow, based on the life story of the
famous movie star, played by Carroll
Baker. From composer David Gates of
the group Bread comes IF A SMILE
COULD LAUNCH A THOUSAND
SHIPS or known simply as IF...surely
one of the shortest tune titles on any
record. Listening to Leroy Anderson’s
FIDDLE FADDLE I was struck by the
sheer speed and lightening dexterity of
Seng’s fingerwork, not to mention the
xylophone on the Mundelin organ being
Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
the epitome of clarity and responsiveness.
I have been a long time fan of the
Carpenters and what turned out to be
a million dollar hit signature tune for
them: WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN,
is now also one of the most chosen of
Wedding ‘anthems’. Seng’s version of
PICK YOURSELF UP, by Jerome Kern,
sung by Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in
the 1936 film Swing Time, is transcribed
in a flirtatious flight of fancy in just 59
seconds!. The next six tracks are from the
NUTCRACKER SUITE, and again the
clarity of the recording and the deftness
of Seng’s interpretation is something
to marvel at. The stereo separation is
clearly defined throughout, especially
with the rasping trumpet rank in the
MARCH. In the accompanying sleeve
notes Johnny Seng describes the tracks
on the album, recorded between 1963
and 1971, as a series of test pressings
which were never intended to be released.
How unthinkable! The Nutcracker
Suite lasts for approx 15 minutes and
then as the sleeve notes indicate, it’s
time to soothe the listener with ON
A CLEAR DAY from the Broadway
show of the same name… or even the
Barbra Streisand 1970 film of the same
name. Ms Streisand surfaces again
with PEOPLE and then it’s a classical
finale with what I believe to be the only
theatre organ recording of LA VALSE by
Maurice Ravel. This short choreographic
poem was written during 1919- 1920,
and meant to be a tribute to Strauss Jnr.
I have to admit it does take a couple of
playings to fully appreciate the intricacies
of the work, but I urge you to stick with
it because strange as it may seem, it is an
odd choice of music for the theatre organ
but it really does work. We’ll never know
if Seng played this in one take, but if he
did, then he’s even more remarkable than
I already knew him to be. I don’t know
how much more Johnny Seng material is
out there, but on the basis of this, and the
earlier release THE SONG IS ENDED,
any future compilations can’t come soon
enough for me.

By the time you read this review
Arnold Loxam will have opened all his
90thBirthday cards and presents, and
amongst them will be a copy of HAPPY
BIRTHDAY ARNOLD (POP120) This
recording is actually a direct copy of the
original Concert Recording LP issued
back in the 60’s and features the sound
of the magnificent former Paramount/
Odeon Leeds WurliTzer, one of the
featured attractions at the Thursford
Collection for the past 25 years. Arnold
opens with HOW HIGH THE MOON
in the typical bouncy foot tapping
style that became his trade mark...and
remains so to this day. This is followed
by a four part QUICKSTEP MEDLEY
comprising of I’M IN A DANCING
MOOD / YOU WERE MEANT FOR
ME / JEEPERS CREEPERS and BYE
BYE BLUES. I recall my childhood
days with the inclusion of MIGHTY
LIKE A ROSE, for the recording by
Negro singer Paul Robeson was one of
the 78s that my parents enjoyed playing
on our old HMV gramophone. Arnold
interprets this number, composed back
in 1900, with the same amount of
sincerity that I recall from the vocal
version. Continuing in the melodic
mood we next have a STRAUSS WALTZ
MEDLEY which naturally includes the
ever popular BLUE DANUBE, and then
mood of dance changes to that of the
fiery GYPSY MOOD which includes
BRAHMS HUNGARIAN DANCES
and DARK EYES. I guess you could say
that MY GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK
has, over the years, become a piece of
music that is always associated with this
artist. Actually this started life as a poem
back in 1876, and quickly became a
favourite parlour and Music Hall song.
This is another of those typical ‘Loxam
Bounce’ interpretations, the tempo of
which is carried through to the next track
THE WOODCHOPPER’S BALL. I
guess when the LP was first released it
would be the first time that a tune which
Arnold composed for his charming Wife
would have been recorded. Her name?
AUDREY. Next come two popular
Sambas EL CUMBANCHEREO and
CUMANA, and then we drop back into
a nice romantic mood once again with
some gorgeous tibias, supplemented
with sea FX in the intro to HARBOUR
LIGHTS which is followed by THE
NEARNESS OF YOU. Of the two,
Harbour Lights was popular around the
time of this recording, with versions by
The Platters and Elvis Presley, whilst The
Nearness Of You was originally written
by Ned Jones and Hoagy Carmichael,
who recorded it back in 1937, and was
featured in the film Romance in the
Dark which came out a year later. After
the briefest of versions of 12th STREET
RAG we attend the WEDDING OF
THE PAINTED DOLL. In 1951
organist Ken Griffin had one of several
hits on the Hammond organ with the
PETITE WALTZ and Arnold treats us
here to his lilting theatre organ version.
At this point the original LP, titled Ethos,
came to a close followed by a brief snatch
of his signature tune COME BACK TO
SORRENTO. However there are two
more tracks to enjoy, KISS OF FIRE
and PICCOLISSIMO SERENADE
which were not included on the original
LP, but which also appear on the earlier
reviewed POP 114 release. As with all
these re-issues the original tapes have
been digitally re-mastered and the clarity
and sound presence is most certainly an
improvement. The same applies to the
attractive sleeve which now carries a
much more flattering photo of Arnold
at the Leeds WurliTzer than graced the
LP, together with appropriate Happy
Birthday graffix front and back, and up
to date sleeve notes.
______________________________
With the acquisition of the Audicord
catalogue, which included releases by the
former Amberlee Record label owned by
John Peters, MSS Studios have been busy
spending time in remastering some of the
more special releases such as EXACTLY
7
Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
LIKE ME! (MSSCD005). Released in
LP format only this features the late
and sadly missed Bryan Rodwell at the
Rodgers ‘Olympic’ 3 manual electronic
organ. At the time Bryan was Product
& Promotions Manager for Boosey &
Hawkes (Electrosonics) Ltd, and who
better to display the many sounds of
this model. Commencing with a rarely
heard March VOICE OF THE GUNS
by Kenneth Alford, a pseudonym of
Royal Marines Major, Frederick Joseph
Ricketts, Bryan then moves on to
a simply beautiful interpretation of
the ARABESQUE No 1 by Debussy.
Romantic and dreamy is how I would
describe this famous composition, which
comes from the very early period of his
life. Singer Ruth Etting first brought
the Jimmy McHugh / Dorothy Fields
composition EXACTLY LIKE YOU
to the notice of the public in the 1930
Broadway production of International
Review. We are more likely to recall
the film Love Me or Leave Me starring
Doris Day and James Cagney which
told the story of the fabled ‘torch’ singer.
Two tunes which Bryan would always
play ‘at the drop of a hat’ were THE
BREEZE AND I and POLKA DOTS &
MOONBEAMS, the latter which opens
with a few bars of a well known nursery
rhyme picked out on the chrysoglott. The
first occasion we hear Bryan playing in his
modernistic jazz mood is with IDAHO,
and this followed in much the same style
with the Neil Hefti classic SPLANKY.
Considering this organ pre-dates the kind
of sounds we readily accept today, Bryan
conjures up some remarkable ‘big band’
sounds from what was basically a theatre
organ model. Although not included in
the 1943 film bearing the same title,
8
the lovely MOONLIGHT IN
VERMONT, finds Bryan playing
this ballad in true theatrical style,
which he follows once again with
a typical ‘ Rodwellesk’ treatment of
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND
THE DEEP BLUE SEA. Just
about all the big names from Glenn
Miller to Manhattan Transfer
have recorded POINCIANA,
and the Rodwell version of this
prominent Neil Simon classic is a
mellifluous journey which again
draws on some romantic theatre
organ sounds. One of my favourite
pieces of music has always been the
THEME FROM THE APARTMENT,
but until this recording I had never seen
the composition given a specific title,
that of JEALOUS LOVER. Few people
will perhaps realise that the composer
is none other than Charles Williams of
‘Dream of Olwen’ fame. The music runs
throughout the film, a black and white
classic which starred Jack Lemon, Shirley
MacLaine and Fred Mac Murrey. The
CD closes out with the short version of
Bryans signature tune ‘YOU MADE ME
LOVE YOU’. The accompanying inlay
sleeve and notes are an exact replica of the
original LP, which shows the artist seated
at the organ. Although 27 years have
passed since the original LP first came
out, modern computerised technology
and good quality Master tapes have
resulted in a far superior sounding copy.
One thing is for sure, they didn’t dub
Bryan ‘The Guv’nor’ for nothing.
______________________________
If I were a judge on an organ world TV
equivalent of ‘Strictly come dancing’ or
‘Dance Fever’ I most certainly would be
giving 17 year old Sarah Foley high scores
for her playing, because she consistently
delivers performances that are the result
of countless hours of study and practice.
I’d give bonus marks for the fact that
she plays and records everything live.
Her latest CD is called MUSIC (OF
THE FUTURE) (SF2006) and is on
the Foley Tribe enterprises / Harmony
Cottage Audio label. Opening with the
title track, MUSIC by John Miles, this
is the scene setter for a very exciting
programme which contains a programme
of music for everyone, plus a few surprises.
It is possible to do so much more with
this composition, but only if you go
down the multi-tracking route and this
is something that Sarah makes it clear
from the onset of all her concerts, that
the route is one she does not travel. With
the next track she ups the excitement even
further with AMORADA and TICO
TICO. Both the items are ripe for stage
showmanship, and if this were a DVD
you’d understand why this is one of her
concert performance show stoppers. The
fingerwork is clear and uncluttered, and
with a strong punchy sound the TICO
TICO is equal to the recordings of the
lady who first brought this to our notice
in the film Bathing Beauties: the first lady
of the electronic organ Ethel Smith. Ron
Goodwin’s stirring 633 SQUADRON,
complete with some pseudo bomb
explosions, precedes a lengthy medley
from the film GREASE. This 1978 film
dealing with the path of true love in a
fifties High School, starred John Travolta
and Olivia Newton-John. It spawned a
whole collection of tunes which include
the Oscar nominated Hopelessly in love,
You’re the one that I want & Summer
Nights all of which are included here.
A lovely ballad YOU RAISE ME UP
is in the traditional Irish Danny Boy
style, and actually commenced life as
an instrumental. It has subsequently
been connected with a number of events
including 9/11 and the Columbia Space
shuttle disaster, not to mention being a
hits for Daniel O’Donnel, Josh Groban
and the group Westlife. It’s nice, but
personally speaking it doesn’t do anything
for me, but I don’t like Danny Boy either!
Again it’s a dramatic change of tempo
Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
with the famous SABRE DANCE from
the final Act of Aram Khachaturian’s
ballet Gayane. Then comes the first
of a couple of surprises. One usually
associates 42nd STREET with the work
of dance director Busby Berkeley and the
kaleidoscopic patterns produced
by hundreds of chorus girls.
Sarah has taken this tune from
the 1933 film and given it the
Big Band treatment...and I do
mean BIG Band. The pounding
drum beats make way for a solo
clarinet in the opening bars, and
then the various brass sections
are let loose in a number that
has the artists own brand of
individuality stamped firmly
on it throughout. The second
surprise comes in the form of
CORNFLAKES. As a long time
Wunderlich fan, my wife sent
Sarah a copy of the music with
the hope that she might see the
potential of this delightfully
paced little novelty number. Without
missing a note Sarah has uncannily
managed to copy some of the intricacies
of the synthesised original version, and
although it is played a tadge faster than
the Wunderlich version it’s another prime
example of this young girls musical
talent. The penultimate number is the
very popular LORD OF THE DANCE.
Often thought to be traditional, it was
composed in 1963, and is an adaptation
from the Shaker tune ‘Simple gifts’.
Even so who can ever forget the sight
and sound of Michael Flatley fronting
the female corp line up with the almost
deafening, but precision timed Celtic
dance finale. The final number on this
CD is the appropriately titled TIME
TO SAY GOODBYE which Sarah
Brightman and Andrea Bocelli first
sang together in 1996. I think it loose’s
something without the words, but that
comment in no way diminishes my liking
for the arrangement with which Sarah
brings this highly recommended CD to a
close. Summing up Music (of the Future)
played by a Star of the future.
______________________________
Attending one of the local Organ
Clubs last year I heard a most enjoyable
programme from an organist I had
knew nothing about, but according
to his recording BACK ON TRACK
(PCR001) Paul Carmen indicates this
is a return to recording after a break of
20 years. How I came to be hearing him
for the first time is therefore a mystery
to me, because with all due respect to
this artist his name meant nothing to
me. Recalling that Organ Club concert,
one of the things that stuck out in my
mind was that here was an organist
who came with nothing more than an
standard Orla organ with no extra amps,
cabinets or add on gizmo’s and guess
what... the sound adequately filled the
large hall. I suspect that much of what
I am hearing on this CD, played on the
Orla GT9000 is also produced within
the same parameters. The programme
content is basically a mixture of 16 nice
ballads, film and show tunes, which will
be known by everyone. The one exception
is JEANETTE which would appear to be
written especially for Paul’s partner of
the same name. Commencing with the
Englebert Humperdinck hit A MAN
WITHOUT A WOMAN we come to
the first of the film music items: SHE
(Tous Les Visages de L’Amour) from the
Notting Hill film Soundtrack, written by
Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer.
TIE A YELLOW RIBBON goes back to
1973 and was a hit for Tony Orlando &
Dawn. The story behind the practice is
from 1980 when Americans put them
on trees to remember the hostages being
held in Iran. HE’LL HAVE TO GO
is a Jim Reeves number from the film
Cold Feet, and this followed by the
Carpenters hit number one, TOP OF
THE WORLD. Opening with a very
nice guitar sound, Paul switches back
and forth to pan pipes for CAVATINA,
the theme from the DEER HUNTER
which also carries a nice strings
modulated background. The
strangely titled BETCHA BY
GOLLY WOW goes back to the
days of the Stylistics Group in the
70’s, although the singer Prince
did release a cover version some
20 years later, followed by one
from the Backstreet Boys. The
aforementioned JEANETTE
features a solo piano with strings
background throughout, and is
very reminiscent of the music
and style of Bryan Sharp. A
whole host of vocalists have
recorded MY GIRL… everyone
from the Temptations, to
Michaels Jackson and Westlife,
and a perennial favourite with
many organists is FEELINGS. A typical
Country & Western flavour dominates
YOUR CHEATIN HEART written
back in 1952 for Hank Williams, the
famous country music singer/songwriter,
and released a year later after his death.
Film theme time again with SPEAK
SOFTLY LOVE, from the famous film
in which Marlon Brando portrayed The
Godfather. The Orla GT9000 certainly
has a good range of authentic brass voices
and they are featured to great effect in
SWAY together with solo embellishments
on piano and accordion. I wonder if
Paul Carmen is a fan of singer Michael
Buble because he has had great success
with that number, as with THAT’S ALL.
However it’s not quite the end of the CD:
that is reserved for THE NEARNESS
OF YOU, with it’s gorgeous breathy
saxophone solo, which follows on from
THAT’S AMORE. Paul has concocted
a captivating and typical Italian feel for
this famous number which will forever
be associated with the late Dean Martin.
This recording is a welcome interlude
in an organ recording world that, in
the main, is dominated with a lot of
studio and technological enhancements.
Wearing his ‘other hat’ is Brett Wales,
who is credited as the sound engineer for
the production.

Alan Ashtons Organised Keyboards
The last time I saw
Franz Lambert ‘live’
in concert would be
getting on for 20 years
ago. I counted myself as
one of his biggest fans
and always enjoyed
the happy music he
played, combined
with a ver ve and
vitality in his playing.
I was therefore very
disappointed with
his first DVD release,
because everything I
enjoyed back then,
w a s m i s s i n g . Fo r
instance, of the first nine items in the first
segment of his concert, six are his own
compositions, and to be truthful they are
pleasant enough, but repetitively boring
and certainly not thrilling enough to make
you want to request them in future concerts.
These self indulgent inclusions are lifted
from their boredom level only by the myriad
of sounds from the unspecified Wersi organ.
For instance AGNUS DEI which is not a
Lambert composition, but might just as
well be, is a psuedo religious tune with vocal
chanting, and BANANA TROPICANA,
which is a Lambert composition, has
slightly tropical flavour with a predominant
accordion sound! The only two items in this
half of the concert that would be known to
anyone in this Country are the TRUMPET
VOLUNTARY by Purcell, and a three part
closer to the first half comprising of (guess
what?) AMORADA / TICO TICO and
MAMBO JAMBO. I appreciate that this
is a celebration of 40 years on stage, but
he was playing these in the 80’s… and
even with much older models, the sounds
and his associated showmanship were
two of the things that earned him many
English fans. The self indulgent theme
continues with Track 10 titled FRANZ
LAMBERT IMPRESSIONEN TOUR
2005 and comprises of a series of non
captioned photos showing Franz on stage or
surrounded by fans and individuals and all
screened to the accompaniment of another
of his compositions! By now, I am bored and
if I were in the actual concert audience, the
same feeling would apply.
The second half of the concert commences
with the main theme from PHANTOM
OF THE OPERA but it’s accompanied
throughout by a monotonous rhythm
track which detracts from the dramatis
and excitement intended by the composer.
10
Next is the eighth
Lambert composition
on the DVD
t i t l e d S E AG U L L
JONATHAN, and
with it a chance to
feature waves and gull
calls as intermediate
sound FX scene
setters to yet another
repetitive tune. Then
comes the famous
SABRE DANCE and
for the first time I
began to recall why
I used to enjoy this
artist so much. It
would seem that I am not alone because
the assembled audience applaud more
enthusiastically each time he plays (a)
something they know and (b) displays
energetic and entertaining playing.. This
continues with what I believe to be his
own arrangement of the theme from the
1981 film DAS BOOT (THE BOAT)
universally recognized as the best submarine
film of all time. Once again the rhythm
track helps things along, and for once the
lighting engineer seems to have a feel for
the music. Following on from ELENI
composed by C Tol and Th Tol, we come to
artist composition number nine, FLYING
FINGERS which, like his concert opener
LAMBERTISSIMO displays his dexterity.
They both contain predominantly
repetitive chromatic keyboard
runs and manual smears,
but certainly display the
fact that after 40 years
playing organ he can
still make the audience
wake up and applaud
for more. Tracks 17 &
18 feature two more
Lambert compositions,
and then comes another
item which lifts both the spirit
of the audience, and mine for that
matter. Many years ago I had a recording
by Helmut Zacharius called the Gypsy
Fiddler, and I have a feeling that what I
was actually hearing was THE LARK, a
composition by Grigoras Dinicu based
around Romanian gypsy music. This is
undoubtably the same piece of music and
I can see this one becoming as popular
as the Circus Renz which Franz first
introduced to UK audiences 25 years ago.
The THORNBIRDS THEME by Henry
Mancini would again appear to be the
artist’s own arrangement, and whilst there
are many departures from the written score,
Franz presents this in terms of a Symphonic
Rhapsody and although lengthy I did enjoy
it. The concert closer finds him playing his
oft requested item HUMMELFLUG or
the FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE to
you and I. Although that is the end of the
concert, his musical indulgence continues
throughout a two minute advert for his
currently available recordings, and then
in the sub-menu titled MEETINGS we
hear (on the last count) his thirteenth
composition which serves as the background
to a series of photos culled from his photo
album. He has met and played for everyone
from the Dali Lama to a very young
Prince Charles, though 80% of the other
personalities shown in his company would
not mean anything to most of us.
The camera work throughout this production
is predictable, and falls squarely into a genre
which I term ‘the 3 Fs’… face, feet and
fingers. Actually there is a forth ‘F’… fog. A
smoke machine constantly billows the stuff
out across the stage… either that or someone
left the scene dock doors open and it was a
cold night. The resultant haze seems to only
serve one purpose and that is to heighten
and sharpen the rays of the stage lighting.
Apart from a couple of specific occasions the
lighting is a distraction, and for audience
members I would imagine to be bordering
on annoying. The operator is either a
former Disco lighting engineer or a WW2
searchlight operator. There was so
much more that could have
been done with this DVD
in the post-production
stages. Many of the artist’s
composition are ideal
vehicles to accompany
thematic visuals which
could have been projected
on the huge screen above
the artist and subsequently
incorporated into the final
production. After all, projected
images from a fixed camera showing
the keyboard for the entire show, becomes
tiresome. However, used with discretion
and mixed with other visuals it would then
become another feature to be enjoyed. I did
genuinely want to enjoy this production ,
and hoped to recapture some of the fun and
exhilaration that I experienced with him
on tour all those years ago. Sadly it never
happened. Even worse is my feeling that if
ever I found myself in a position to see him
in concert again, based on this DVD I doubt
that I would choose to buy a ticket.
The ORGAN1st Label: The First 4 Releases
The lovely 3-manual
8-rank Wurlitzer organ
in the Buttermarket,
Shrewsbury has, over
recent years, become
one of the most
popular in the country.
When Arnold Loxam
played it in concert
in October 1994, he
found the experience
so enjoyable that he
expressed a desire to
make a recording on it. We are particularly
proud to present the end product to you.
Originally released as a cassette in 1995
to celebrate Arnold’s 70 years of broadcasting it is now released here on CD to
celebrate 80 years!
Arnold Loxam’s first broadcast was on
September 22nd, 1925 on the 2LS Leeds
Bradford Station of the BBC, hence the
album title and the march of the same
name which Arnold wrote especially for
the occasion, and is based on a song the
Aunts and Uncles of the 2LS Children’s
Nigel plays that allimportant attention to
selecting registrations
of
tone
colours
appropriate to each and
every piece of music
he plays and I am sure
you will be impressed
with the delightful
sounds he coaxes from
the Wurlitzer. Very
often when in concert,
Nigel includes a short
selection of melodies from stage and screen
musicals, and that became the theme for
this recording.
I have seen theatre organs installed in some
very unusual places, but probably none more
so than the Buttermarket, built in 1835 at
the terminus of the Shrewsbury branch of
the Shropshire
Union
Canal
for the offloading of fresh
market produce.
Its importance
declined in the
1850s, after the
railway
came
and it was used
1
Hour used to sing, together with snippets
of Ilkla Moor and My Gal’s a Yorkshire Gal
to give it a true local flavour. The Rosebud
Waltz and The Snowdrop are the two
tunes Arnold played on the piano on that
very first broadcast. By the Fireside was
his signature tune in those days. Down
By the Riverside seemed appropriate to
include as the Buttermarket is only 100
yards from the River Severn. Every item
has been broadcast or played at organ
concerts by Arnold over the years, and as
each means something special to him, he
hopes you get as much pleasure listening
to the music as he did recording it.
Arnold is truly an international organist
and pianist, for as well as playing concerts
all over the country, he regularly visitited
America and Canada until 1999 and still
visits Holland. At a stage when most
people live a life of total leisure, Arnold
is still devoted to music making, with no
plans to retire, having vowed to go on
playing for as long as God gives him health
and strength. Let us hope he continues to
do so for many more years to come and
thank him for the last eighty.

as a warehouse during the next 100 years,
gradually falling into decay. In the late
1970s, Kerry Wycherley purchased the
building (now Grade II listed), restored
it, and converted it into an entertainment
complex.
The 3-manual, 8-rank Wurlitzer was
designed
by
Harold Ramsay,
and installed in
the Ritz Cinema,
Chatham in 1937.
It was removed
by David Pawlyn
in 1971 and he
re-built it in the
Buttermarket
during
1988
where is can still be seen today.

Notes About This CD Release:
Originally released as a cassette only on the
Harmony Music label in 1992, that entire
release is now available here on CD for the
very first time. Also included here are some
16 minutes of previously unreleased material
recorded at the same session. This includes
selections from “Swing Time” & “The Boy
Friend”, as well as a ‘throway’ piece never
intended for release; “Tip Toe Through The
Tulips With Me”. Although never planned
for inclusion on the cassette, as it was taken
from the film “Gold Diggers of Broadway”,
it is still in keeping with overall theme.

Original LP sleeve notes from 1979:
Bryan Rodwell is no stranger to
organ fans throughout the world
having appeared at numerous theatre
and electronic organ concerts and
demonstrations, given many broadcasts
and made a large number of records.
It can truly be said that Bryan’s life has
been a musical one since commencing
piano tuition at the age of five. Two
years later he gave his first public
performance followed by others both
solo and ensemble.
His musical accomplishments also
encompassed the organ and he became
organist of his local church. Like many
before him he was
captivated by the
sound and potential
of the theatre organ
and he received
tuition from Charles
Saxby at the Odeon
Theatre Leeds. This
led to Bryan joining
the ABC circuit
before joining the
Royal Air Force
where he served
with the Central
Band for two years.
During this time
he commenced his
broadcasting career,
firstly on the BBC
Theatre Organ and
then the NWDR
studio organ in
12
Hamburg.
On completing his RAF service Bryan
rejoined the ABC circuit starting
with a residency at the Ritz Hereford,
following this by joining the famous
Granada team of organists. He was
first appointed as variety organist at the
Granada East Ham, following this with
appearances throughout the circuit and
regular broadcasting.
In 1957 Bryan left the cinema world for
television and studio session work and
playing in concerts throughout Europe.
In latter years he has been actively
involved in promoting leading makes of
electronic organs.
Bryan is now Product
& Promotions Manager
for Boosey & Hawkes
(Electrosonics)
Ltd.,
where he is actively
engaged in promoting,
amongst others, the
range of fabulous
RODGERS Organs.
On this album we
proudly present Bryan
Rodwell bringing his
own particular brand
of magic playing the
Rodgers
‘Olympic’
Organ – a true theatre
organ in all its aspects;
with a programme
which shows off all
the capabilities and
authentic voices of this
remarkable instrument.

The ORGAN1st Label: The First 4 Releases
This compilation of
historic recordings by
the late Gerald Shaw
are taken from two
cassettes released on
the Audicord label
in 1986. The first
cassette,
GERALD
SHAW
PLAYS
HOME AND AWAY
(ACD178) contained
tracks derived from
two LPs on the Carwel label; SURE
FAVOURITES (CAR103) featuring the
5c,16r Compton of the Odeon, Leicester
Square and THE REGAL SOUND
(CWR35) featuring the 4m,37r Christie
formerly in the Regal Odeon, Marble
Arch. Both these LPs contained tracks
recorded in 1964.
The second Audicord cassette originally
appeared under the title A STATE VISIT
(ACD169) and featured the 4m,16r
WurliTzer in the Gaumont State Theatre,
Kilburn. This tape was recorded during a
concert for organ enthusiasts in 1966.
This new recording has been sourced from
the original stereo reel to reel tapes which
were found to be in remarkably good
condition and they have been digitally
remastered and enhanced for this first
CD release.
Of the three organs on this CD, only the
Compton and the WurliTzer remain in
their original homes and are still played
on a regular basis to this day. As for the
Christie, this was one of the biggest and
saddest losses to the organ world, because
after it was removed by a private buyer, it
was placed into unsuitable storage and to
the best of any knowledge is no longer in
a salvageable condition.
Gerald Shaw made the Regal Odeon

4
recordings in 1964 during the final
fourteen days that the Christie was in the
cinema, and they display a remarkable side
to his musicianship, inasmuch as they were
recorded straight ‘off the cuff’ without a
single sheet of music. The microphone
placement was identical to that used by
the BBC for their broadcasts.
After his residency at Marble Arch (March
1953 - November 1958) Gerald Shaw
moved to the Odeon, Leicester Square,
and became the longest serving resident
there until his sudden death in 1974.

Gerald Shaw was born in Scotland being the son of Captain Frank Shaw, author
of stirring sea stories. It was teaching and not music that he began to make his
career and it was five years before the lure of music took him to his first professional
appointment at the Regal, St. Leonards. From there he became resident at the
Paramount, Glasgow until military duties intervened. When peace returned he
settled in Manchester playing the Wurlitzer at the Odeon and this was followed by
somewhat more exotic posts in Lisbon and Cairo. Gerald eventually became resident
at the Odeon, Marble Arch and then moved to the Rank’s flagship, the Odeon
Leicester Square.

An Audience with Brett Wales
Brett in his Studio
I can’t claim to be Brett’s first or “Founder
Fan” – a long way from first in fact, but
I liked his music then, and love it even
more today. I am but one of many who
will travel far to see Brett Wales in concert.
His popularity stemming from his ability
to give his audience what they want, that’s
their kind of music plus a mixture of
humour and talent. On festival occasions
one has only to watch the crowd gathering
at a Wersi demo to know that Brett is in
town!
Today was to be different, no gathering
crowds, no competition for his time, no,
- today I have a private audience with the
maestro. I had good feelings about the day
ahead as I slipped quietly out of our lane,
and pointed the car northwards.
I headed North for some two hours up the
M1, and have now reached my destination.
The warm spring sunshine settled on my
shoulders as I stepped out of the car. I had
arrived at Wales Records in Nottingham. It
was 10am, and, as I stood on the doorstep
it was no surprise to hear an orchestra
playing inside, obviously in rehearsal, and
being timed so as to get the brass section’s
entrance into a piece of music, spot on. It
was of course one of the many “BW Scala”
orchestras, or combos and brass bands
whose muted strains frequently waft on the
air of that neighbourhood in Nottingham.
How on earth do they all fit into such a
small studio?
This was not the first time I had visited
the studio, but this time there was to
be a difference. I wanted to understand
something of the work that goes on behind
the scenes in the creation of Brett’s music.
I also hoped and prayed I could find the
14
literary skills to accurately portray and do
justice to Brett’s musicianship, such that as
a result there might be greater appreciation
for his work and dedication.
I knocked and the door opened, the cheeky,
not totally unexpected remark of welcome,
plus a steaming mug of tea was to set the
backcloth for the rest of the day’s events,
namely, lots of laughter, stunning music,
and of course, the inevitable, repetitive,
steaming mug of tea!
Brett’s studio is a mixture of instruments,
computers, mixing desks, children’s
paintings and of course a picture of Brett’s
best pal, roadie and mentor for many years
- the late Ken Davies – now alongside two
photos of Brett’s idols, Klaus and Franz.
by Richard Collis
I hope this article will play a part in
providing some of the answers to the well
meaning, yet mistaken critics who tend to
lump all multi tracking players into the
one group for condemnation. Many critics
speak, it would seem, in ignorance of the
very real differences that exist between
commercially recorded multi-tracked styles
that provide ready made arrangements
available to all, and the unique and very
personal backing tracks Brett prepares for
each individual piece of music he plays in
concert or heard on his CDs. Yes, maybe
we have seen players on stage doing little
but putting on a record and miming to
it, and yes I would agree that is not really
on, but this is as far removed from a Brett
Wales performance as is the North, from
the South, Pole.
Well meaning critics, some who suggest
that perhaps “original recordings” are used
would be well advised to listen carefully,
and with an open mind, for the subtle
key changes, count the number of bars
and note the variations, hear the differing
instrumentation and arrangements, all
of which puts a very firm stamp on the
authenticity of a Brett Wales musical
masterpiece. I’m given to understand that
apart from the improved musical aspect,
both these variations from the “original”
confound well-meant yet unjust criticism.
Of course, the very fact that people can
make such a mistake as to think it really is
Abba, or Glenn Miller must surely speaks
Close friends of Brett have been asking
him to explain what
it is that makes his
music, his sound, so
exciting and realistic?
Those who know, and
have witnessed, as I
have today, the hours
of dedicated studio
work preparing for
concerts will already
know the answer. It
is summed up in two
w o rd s p e r s i s t e n c e
and perfection, one
brings the other! It’s
the playing of tracks
and compositions
over and over again,
the mastering and
polishing of the
Full Score - An example of music used by Brett for recreating
performance for his
an authentic rendition of “The Marriage of Figaro”
concert and CDs.
An Audience with Brett Wales
volumes about the quality of the work
Brett does.
When we listen to a piece of Brett’s music
such as Blue Danube, or, Skaters Waltz,
it must be obvious to most music lovers
that the sound comprises many individual
parts, it is very complete. Brass, String,
Woodwind, Piano, Bass and Timpani
are all independently going about there
business, each playing there own unique
parts from the orchestral score.
In order to give a polished and professional
performance, whether it be a classical
piece, or modern contemporary music,
country or Jazz, Brett must first determine
the parts, in addition to the lead, he will
play live on stage. With only two hands,
ten digits and two feet, the rest must
be pre-prepared, played in the studio
and recorded. Yes we are talking about
each individual instrument, just as in an
orchestral score, and all played in real time,
that is continuously, from start to finish of
the piece. Even the drum track is laid in
as a single track from start to finish – no
looping of pre recorded parts, each note,
each “bang” on the drum is a Brett Wales
one off action. Is it any wonder that we can
hear a difference when he’s on stage! Talk
about value for money, we get not just one
Brett Wales, but an entire, unified orchestra
full of BW talent. It really doesn’t get much
better than this – does it? Well does it?
The order in which the tracks are laid down
differs with each piece of music, but as a
rough guide the lead, or melody line is
first, and although it does not feature in
the final arrangement, it does give an initial
guide for the number of bars, and of course
provides a melody to start adding, one by
one, all the other tracks.
At this point I must break in to say I was
amazed by the fluency of the production.
Playing along to tracks laid down earlier
is a real art, controlling all the other bits,
going back over things again and again
would be so time consuming for the likes
of me and many others, yet it all happens
so quickly and easily, and in front of your
very eyes. Seeing is believing, and I have
asked Brett to give a “Masterclass” one day
at a festival, I’m sure many will be amazed
at what can be done with equipment that’s
available to us all.
The voice selection, editing, volume
balance, and placement in the audio
spectrum are also a Brett Wales hallmark.
I wish I had a pound for every time I’ve
Brett & Richard Collis
heard someone say, “Why can’t I make
my Wersi sound like that!” Well of course
you can! But it’s because of the work that
goes into the voice selection and then the
voice editing before adding the magic that
is Brett Wales that makes it all happen.
It’s the artistry and passion as he plays
each instrument, replicating the styles of
individual players, such as the way James
Galway would play his golden flute, or
Eddie Calvert his Trumpet.
Another Brett Wales feature, one I suspect
handed on to him by the late Ken Davies,
is his ability to find the “Hook” in a piece
of music, the bit that associates what
is being played to that which made the
piece famous, incorporating it, either in
an instrumental sense, or by the very way
it’s played. Brett learnt a great deal from
his association with the late Ken Davies.
In Brett’s earlier days it was Ken who
guided him through a musical wonderland,
pointing out right from wrong, little things
like expression pedal control, changed
Brett’s performance. I know Brett would
want to acknowledge Ken’s valued input.
So sorely missed today.
The addition of computers, digital
recording, multitracking, and many other
features have for the first time, given today’s
players the opportunity to play each of
the scores written for each section of an
orchestra, separately, from start to finish.
A demanding practice, a new skill to learn,
a challenge to be met, and one that Brett
seems to have grown up with. Brett tells
me, with a smile on his face, that everything
he does and uses, can be accessed on our
own organs and keyboards. We have the
technology, but do we have the skill or
dedication? Perhaps this in part explains
why we have critics! It’s a tough road to
follow, and people like Brett and one or two
others have a head start on the rest.
When talking about multitracking I say,
‘new’ and ‘demanding’ with my tongue in
cheek, and with apologies due to people like
Les Paul and Mary Ford, Wout Steinhouse,
and of course our very own Brian Sharp,
all of whom were perhaps multitracking
long before Brett came on the scene. Of
course the results sound similar, but today
the technique and complexity has hit new
levels of excellence.
Always searching for excellence and one
for making the most of things, Brett has
studied the capabilities of many products
including Wersi, Orla, Yamaha, and
Korg. Understanding and using the best
available in advanced electronics and
digital technology, has opened up his
world of “music making” in a way beyond
the comprehension of many of us. Brett
spends time researching better ways to
produce authentic music. Using techniques
available to us all, and through shear hard
work, dedication and a love for his craft,
shows us all what can be achieved.
It is of course widely known that whilst
Brett has maintained a completely freelance
involvement with manufacturers. He
has none-the-less demonstrated and
campaigned continuously for Wersi over
the years, which, it has to be said, is his
first love. Brett will however, demonstrate
15
An Audience with Brett Wales
or play for any manufacturer who produces
a quality product, and invites him so to do.
Recent involvement with Korg and Orla
has added yet more people to his fan club!
Whilst the long standing love affair with
Wersi continues unabated. The diversity
keeps Brett up to date with much of the
ever-advancing technical changes of our
time.
The Studio
Since early days much has changed, in
both the world of music, and instruments.
What hasn’t changed is the need for good
trained musicians, with the skills and
talent, the dexterity and the creative passion
that makes full use of today’s, diverse and
complex technology.
Although the common terminology
used for these instruments is “electronic
organ/keyboard”, it is today a misnomer
for the evolved and developed instrument
we hear and play today. Whilst still
keeping faith with the magic of drawbars
and tone wheel sounds of yesteryear, the
modern instrument has, in addition,
far reaching capabilities and can very
accurately reproduce true orchestral sounds
and solo instruments. It is in truth an
“orchestral organ/keyboard” All it needs
is “an arranger”, “a conductor” and the
“musicians”. In this house all three can be
summed up in two words, Brett Wales!
An “organ” concert today, particularly a
Brett Wales concert can have you believe
you are sitting in the presence of the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, or Glenn Miller,
Billy May, Eric Delany, or Acker Bilk, the
band or artist list is truly endless!
The visit to his studio at Wales Records
in Nottingham was something of an eye
opener, apart from being surrounded by
mixing decks and visual aids, computers,
speakers, keyboards and the Wersi Scala
that mentioned earlier, I felt a warmth, a
welcome, gift wrapped in glorious music.
A last mug of tea, a cheery wave, and I’m
on my way back home. A good day, no, a
lovely day if not a trifle bewildering.
My thanks to Brett and Katrina for their
candour, company, and tea.
And I thought I could play! Huh!

HORACE FINCH
Organist supreme; a perfectionist and a legend in his
own lifetime. So wrote organist Armsbee Bancroft in the sleeve notes of the only
commercial LP that was devoted to the music of Blackpool’s ‘Ace’ organist. Perhaps
I should clarify that there was a series of other recordings on the Deroy Label, but
unlike BBC Records REC 129M, they were not available in the High Street shops
or Record stores… that is until Derek Marsh (Deroy) sold up and emigrated to the
USA, selling all his stocks to the HMV Chain before departure, who promptly put a
price tag on them of more than twice what Derek Marsh sold them for via his Mail
Order business! The Deroy recordings appear to number seven in total. Born in St
Helens, Lancashire, Horace’s first major appointment was as solo and orchestral
pianist in the Empress Ballroom, Blackpool. It was to an association that remained
until an injury to the third finger on his left hand forced him to take early retirement
in 1962. In his early days he formed part of the line-up with the Ballroom Band under the direction of Bert Gutsall (stage
name Bertini) and can be heard on many of the Bands early Rex recordings, and upon the same label that he was to
become famous for his solo organ 78s made at the WurliTzers of the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, Granada Clapham and
the Blackpool Opera, House… the latter organ which he designed is still in situ to this day. By far his broadcasts from the
WurliTitzer, installed in 1935 in the Empress Ballroom, were the most famous, and those broadcast in the late evening
are remembered with particular affection. In all his recordings there is a brightness and clarity together with musical
improvisation. The aforementioned BBC Record, released in 1972 has extracts from two broadcasts he made during 58 &
59, but it goes without saying that if you ever come across any of his recordings then they are most worthy of adding to
your collection. Horace Finch retired to live in Lytham St Annes where he died September 30th 1980. His wife Dorothy
passed away in 2005.
TONY FENELON
(Born January 9th, 1941) One of the first theatre organ
recordings to reach this Country featuring the Australian artist was HERE COMES
TONY [ARP-S7000] released on the Ad-Rhythm label in 1970. It was released
under License from Festival Records and brought to us the sound of the Dendy
Theatre, WurliTzer, a 15 rank instrument, which originally came from the Capitol
Theatre, Melbourne where it remained from 1924 until 1963. Some four years later
it was up and running in the Dendy. That recording was quickly followed by TONY
FENELON IN AMERICA [ARP-S 7001] which found him recording memories
of his 1969 tour on the WurliTzer in the Senate Theatre, Detroit. Both records are
long out of print. 1973 saw him come to the UK for the first time, guesting on THE
ORGANIST ENTERTAINS for Robin Richmond, but it wasn’t until 1980 when
he played his first concert. The venue was the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in which
he played the WurliTzer as part of the International Organ Festival. He returned to play there again in 1987 and recorded
the cassette FAIR DINKUM. In total there are 7 solo theatre organ recordings, and a few others on which he shares the
session. At present there is one theatre organ CD available, namely TONY PLAYS DUO which finds him playing the
Capri Theatre organ, as well as a Roland HP 2800 piano. Even that is more than 10 years old now, but nevertheless Tony
lists this as his favourite recording. Of the 6-7 electronic organ records he’s made, most of these are now unavailable, with
the exception of COLLECTIONS, and this too, is his favourite recording. The good news for theatre organ fans is that
he is looking to eventually issue some ‘historical’ recordings which he made in his formative years as a rising theatre organ
entertainer. More good news is the likelihood that he will be in the UK in mid-September 2006.

TIM FLINT
Groov’in
One of the few organists who
sprang to fame courtesy of the Organ Festival scene
way back a quarter century ago. Unlike so many equally talented youngsters of that
time and place, his determination and stage presence, coupled with an eye to stage
presentation, secured him a niche that has remained to this day. His debut LP ICE
CASTLES [Grosvenor GRS1163] was released back in 1985, and after remaining
with that label for some years, he began to produce his own recordings privately, and
as such are only available at his concerts.
PAUL FRANCIS Appears to have made one cassette on the small privately
owned ODIN label with the title ICE KOOL [ODC 001] Keyboards listed as
Technics E66, Korg Poly 800 & Technics PV10. Nothing known about the artist
either then or now!
GUS FARNEY
Researching the output for this artist, I can only find a trio of LPs all
performed on the five manual WurliTzer in the Bray Studio, Salt Lake City, Utah. COLOSSUS
[Warners 1359] GUS FARNEY AT THE GIANT FIVE MANUAL WURLITZER PIPE
ORGAN [Warners WS 1409 ] and GIANT PIPES [Warners WM 8106] Organ Enthusiast
Larry Bray built the studio with the prime intention of installing a five manual WurliTzer
so that it could be recorded under ideal conditions. The project seemed short lived because
I cannot find any other recordings, and these were done many years ago, although Internet.
Web pages show the magnificent organ still in situ, but no mention of any organists. Oddly,
none of the LPs indicate where the organ came from but the Web pages state that the basis of
the now 34 rank installation were the organs from the Salt Lake City’s Gem theatre
and the Ogden’s Egyptian theatre, and the former dual console 3/19 WurliTzer from
New York’s Staten Island Paramount theatre. The organ appears to be in regular use
for Silent movie presentations or Wedding Receptions & Banquets. Cost? $600 for a
minium four hour’s rental, thereafter $100 and hour… Drinks Licence and Bar Staff
extra! As for Gus Farney, none of the sleeve notes tell us much about him at all…
except that he was one of the great American Theatre organists, and that it was he
who was chosen to perform the opening concert on the organ known affectionately
as the Colossus. Anyone wanting to collect these superb recordings could do well
to look on Ebay where they appear quite often. Certainly the three Warners releases
would have a degree of rarity value.
FER FRERICHS
Nothing known about this artist who appears at some stage
to have been connected with, maybe as a Demonstrator, for the Eminent Organ
Company. I can but only assume he is also from the Nederlands. Two known LPs:
EMINENT EXPRESS [Sabra DT 1003] featuring the Eminent Grand 2000 model,
and released in 1976, and half of a double Promotional LP for the Eminent Company
on which he features the Eminent 1600 Orchestra model, and Jos Wielakker features
the 1500 Concerto model. LP has no title but catalogue number and label is Stemra
RCS 388.
ANDREW FENNER
(1908 - October 1979). Affectionately known as ‘Andy’
he could be very demanding at times when presenting organ interludes and the like.
To be fair he always paid great attention to showmanship and some of his organ
interludes would turn out to be a nightmare for the projection staff. He had Classical
organ training at the Royal College of Music under the legendary George Thalben
Ball, gaining the position of Organist and Choirmaster at Coventry Cathedral in
1928. In 1931 he joined Associated British Cinemas, and from 1941 - 1943 he
was one of the elite team of organists on the Granada Circuit. He then joined the
Gaumont Britsh circuit at the Gaumont. Hammersmith, and then rejoined ABC.
A prolific broadcaster he became the resident organist at the Savoy Brighton and
from where he again toured that circuit. Made only one LP recording, simply titled
ANDREW FENNER [Concert recording 0059] it is one of only two recordings
made at the 4/15 Compton, the other being by Ronald Curtis, Groovin’ Part 5 ‘C’
Part 1 refers.

first became the organist at the Beacon Theatre,
Broadway and 74th, New York, before transferring to the Paramount, Staten Island.
War time service caught up with him around this time, but upon completion he
returned to theatre organ playing as well as acting as organist and choirmaster at St
Benedicts RC Church in Richmond, Virginia. Perhaps his most famous residency
was the appointment in 1953 as the organist at the Paramount Theatre, New York,
and he held the distinction of being the last organist to play there before it was
demolished. It was on this famous WurliTzer, designed by Jesse Crawford that he
made THE KING OF ORGANS [COOK 1150] The recording session was one of a
series made by Emory Cook, an eminent sound engineer who was always developing
new recording techniques. It was an all night session ending after the audience had left and culminating in time for the
theatre to begin showing films at 9.30am the next day. The only other LP I can find is THE PARAMOUNT SOUND
[Concert Recording CR0034] which he made at the 4/17 WurliTzer of the Richmond, Virginia. Both records are long out
of print but as some of the early Concert Recording sessions are being re-released,
who knows… this may be one of them.
FREDERICK FEIBAL
American organist who could rightly be termed one
of the old school of theatre organ players. He was an interpreter of almost every kind
of music and held the distinction of being a resident organist at the huge New York
Paramount WurliTzer for a period of 7 years. I had the pleasure of meeting him back
in 1976 when, with his wife Eleanor he came over for a two week long American
organ Safari. Upon his return to the States he kindly sent me copy of HAMMOND
ORGAN IN HI FI Vol.2 [Grand Award Records GA 33-375] He is known to have
made some 78s on the New York Paramount Studio organ, and there is the likelihood
of him having made other LPs, but if so I have no knowledge of them.
JON FISHER
This is a bit of a mystery inclusion because I cannot find anything about the organist who, in 1972
released an LP titled PANAMÁ VIEJO [Amphion Modern SP7111]. Although the
reverse sleeve is crammed with details about the debut recording of a rather rare and
special WurliTzer. During 1961 the management of the Hotel El Panama, several of
whom were theatre organ buffs, learned of the existence of the Stanley-Warner organ,
now resting under a quarter-century of dust. They had long dreamed of being able
to install such an organ in their own hotel lounge. Here was an instrument that was
surely worthy of all their aspirations, one of the two largest three-manual WurliTzers
ever built! The purchase was quickly consummated and the organ was transport to
Panama via a DC- 4. When the plane carrying the pipework arrived in Panama,
the custom officials, who had never seen a pipe organ, decided that the pipes were
rockets and rocket launchers, and they impounded the plane and its contents until
the problem was straightened out. . Finally, around July 1962, WurliTzer No.1009
spoke again before an awed and delighted crowd. During the following ten years at least this brilliant instrument under
its new name “El Bombarde” entertained and inspired more than 2,000 people a week from all around the world. The
organ was later recorded by Leroy Lewis who was a resident there, but the organist on this very rare recording remains a
mystery.
VIRGIL FOX
(1912-1980). Not only was Virgil Fox a brilliant Classical organist, but he also cared a great deal about
the technical aspects of his recordings. Apart from some early shellac 78s, it was with the advent of the LP that he pioneered
some remarkable recordings using 35mm wide magnetic tape… such as would be
used for sound mixing and reproduction in the film industry. He later went on tours
with a specially built Rodgers electronic organ which he called the ‘Black Beauty’
and incorporated in his shows, designed to take classical music to the young people
of America, was his sensational ‘Sound and Light show’. He cared not for the critics
who more than once accused him of breaking all the traditional rules, and in point
of fact does that on an interesting recording he made at the WurliTzer at the Wichita
Century 2 Civic Auditorium. He lets his hair down and does all the things that his
critics had accused him of doing over the years. THE ENTERTAINER [RCA ARL
1-0666] Back in the late 30’s he was invited to play the huge Wanamaker Store organ
in Philadelphia before a crowd of 13,000 people attending a national convention of
24
Groov’in
the American Guild of Organists. Recordings exist of him playing that organ on VIRGIL
FOX PLAYS THE JOHN WANAMAKER ORGAN [Westminster Gold WGS-8145].
However I personally enjoy the Classical ‘light fare’ programmes he recorded on the ‘Black
Beauty’ on such releases as HEAVY ORGAN AT CARNEGIE HALL [RCA ARL1-0081] and VIRGIL FOX HEAVY
ORGAN IN SAN FRANCISCO [MCA MUPS 453] which have the added attraction of a live audience. In 1977 and
battling against cancer from which he died three later he made his final recording at Garden Grove Community Church,
California. Teldec released the double album as THE FOX TOUCH [8-26515 ZP] But the memory of this great organist
lives on via quite a number of his recordings that are in the Organ1st catalogue, but for a real treat I heartedly recommend
the DVD VIRGIL FOX PLAYS THE WANAMAKER GRAND COURT ORGAN. This production includes 41 mins
of bonus material of TV appearances by this most flamboyant of artists.
RAY FRAZIER Born and raised in the San -Francisco Bay Area, Ray’s musical
career began with the study of piano and after achieving local acknowledgements
as a classical pianist, his interest switched to “The King of Instrument”. With the
outbreak of World War II, Ray enlisted as a musician in the US Navy, and was
assigned to the US Navy Symphony and Concert Band in Washington, DC. While
there, he played many programmes for N.B.C., and the Mutual Broadcasting System
including the memorial services for the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. While
in Washington, DC, he attended the National Conservatory of Music, from which
he received a Bachelor of Music Degree. During this period, he served as an assistant
organist in Loews Capitol Theatre. It was at this time that he visited New York, and
was invited by Lew White to play the famous Lobby Organ of the Roxy Theatre.
After the war, Ray returned to the San Francisco Bay Area, and was engaged as staff organist for C.B.S Radio. His present
whereabouts is unknown, but is now thought to be teaching and concertizing. REFLECTIONS OF A GOLDEN ERA
[Concert recording 0116] is the only recording I can find of the artist. The organ is the 4/21 Kilgen-WurliTzer in the
Grant Union High School in Sacramento, California, and was installed over a period of one year from 1938 to 1939. It
was first presented to the public in a recital by a young student by the name of George Wright on December 8th, 1939.
HARRY FARMER
(1912 - 1986) My love affair with the music of Harry
Farmer aka Chris Hamalton, goes back to the days of 10” LPs when Decca released
CHRIS HAMALTON AND HIS HAMMOND ORGANS: DIZZY FINGERS
VOLS 1, 2 & 3] [Decca LF1227, LF1210 & LF1258] At the time I had no idea
that Harry & Chris was one and the same person, but a comparison of the sleeve
notes should have given me enough clues. After all, they both indicated that each
was the son of a Walsall music dealer! But it was the 78rpm multi-tracked recording
of Saturday Night Rag that got him recognised with the record buying public, and
as result the three aforementioned LPs were released. From then on, to the best of
my knowledge, Decca dispensed with the gimmicky multi- tracking releases, and
instead concentrated on recordings in his rightful name. On his demob from the
Army in 1946 he became a popular attraction in Cornwall, and all the while dashing
back and forth to London to take part in such shows as Variety Bandbox, They’re Out, Bright & Early, Morning Rhythm,
Music While You Work and Worker’s Playtime. All of this electronic organ fame owed much to the discovery backstage at
the Granada, Sutton, of a Hammond organ, because until that time he was actually a cinema organist, first with Gaumont
British appearing as ‘Andreas’ and then later for Granada Cinemas under the name Henry Farmer. With his Rhythm
Ensemble, comprising of Harry Engleman on piano, Barry Fox, Guitar and Pete Troman on drums, they made several
LPs: BING CROSBY FAVOURITES [Deeca LF 1194] EARLY TALKIE MEMORIES [LF 1202] and DEEP PURPLE
[LF 4149] The multi-tracking technique was once again brought back for CAPERS
AT THE CONSOLE [Decca LK 4217]. At some point in his career he left Cornwall
and went to live and work, so I believe, in Canada and very little was heard of him
from then on.
REGINALD FOORT
(January 1893 -May 1980). As with the other famous
Reginald, one could devote a whole edition of the alphabet to this Daventry born
theatre organist who first came to prominence with his recordings from the modest
sized New Gallery cinema 2/8 WurliTzer, the third organ from this company to arrive
in England. The year was 1926 and within a couple of months of his appointment
there, he cut his first 12” 78rpm recording. As a boy I recall some of his 78s being
played on our HMV wind up gramophone, several of which all came from the
25
Groov’in
same composer, Ketelbey. On one of the earliest LPs devoted to Foort’s 78rpm recordings
KEEP SMILING [EMI SH 338] an entire side is devoted to the music of Albert William
Ketelby. By 1931 he was the resident at the 4/30 Christie in the Regal, Marble Arch, a
huge monster of an organ compared with the New Gallery. He made a series recordings there for the Columbia label,
having been poached away from HMV. 1932-33 saw him recording the Regal, Kingston-on-Thames Wurlitzer for the
Imperial label. On a visit to the USA ion 1935 he was invited to be the guest organist at the famous Paramount, New
York. He promptly cut another 11 recordings whilst there, and upon his return to England he entered into a 12 month
period of employment at the Paramount, Tottenham Court Road playing the Compton 4/12 and Melotone, both as a
solo artist and in the company of Arthur Anton and the Paramount Theatre Orchestra. In 1992, theatre organ historian
Frank Hare compiled a cassette which featured all of these Paramount recordings PARAMOUNT SHOWTIME [NCM
208] This is a wonderful collection of music, and the sessions done with the Orchestra are very typical of the era. If you
come across a copy, I suggest you buy it. Only weeks after the last session was made, Foort was appointed as the first BBC
Theatre Organist, and in a two-year period ending in 1939 he made some of his most interesting records, both as a solo
artist and with Alfred Campoli (violinist) the famous Kentucky Minstrels, and also the BBC Variety Orchestra. The organ
was the beautiful Compton 4/22 + Melotone + Grand piano. But by far his biggest output came about with the design
of his huge Moller Touring Organ, which was transported around the Country in five wagons. Selected sides from the
recordings appear on compilation CDs far too numerous to mention. However, the former Piping Hot Record Company
did feature 23 of his Moller recordings on REGINALD FOORT PLAYS THE MÖLLER THEATRE PIPE ORGAN
[PH2006] released in 2000 (CD still available from MSS). After he sold the Möller to the BBC, the Compton being
totally destroyed in the first air raid on London in WW2, Foort went to live and retire in the USA. It was here that he was
to meet with Emory Cook and under the pseudonym Michael Cheshire, he recorded the worlds first ever High Fidelity
theatre organ LP. NOTE: Reference Michael Cheshire, see series Part 5. Letter C. Part 1. The year was 1952, and the location
was the Acca Mosque auditorium, Richmond, Virginia which housed a 3/17 WurliTzer. He cut six LPs for the Cook
SOOT (Sound Of Our Times) label on that organ, and another on the even larger Fox Detroit WurliTzer. Any of these
10” & 12” LP recordings would indeed be a rare find. Ironically, in his book THE CINEMA ORGAN the 1970-second
Edition, Foort lists as the best piece of recording he ever did was Dubois’ “Seven Last Words” at the Boston Symphony
Hall organ, complete with the 30 strong Boston Chorale and three top soloists. Again, Engineer Emory Cook was the man
behind the mixing desk. Another Foort recording to look out for is the four parts set he did for Readers Digest: the other
organists being Ray Bohr, Virgil Fox and Reginald Dixon. The set is listed as ORGAN MEMORIES [Readers Digest 423-2] On it he plays the Joe Kerns Studio 3/28 WurliTzer and was forced to hand register the whole session on account
of the combination piston thuds being so loud! Before he passed away, Reginald Foort was reunited with his faithful
old much travelled Moller, which by this time was installed in the Organ Power Pizza, Pacific Beach, San Diego. Titled
MASTER OF THE MAGNIFICENT MÖLLER [DORIC 1506] This is thought to be his last recording, and is one
of the rare theatre organ recordings made in Quadrophonic Stereo. However, according to his book he was planning his
‘ideal dream LP’ and had already chosen the organ on which he intended to record it… though that secret went with him
to his final resting place. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing him when he came over to England in 1971, and
he was a most courteous, warm and friendly person. For me it was a big thrill to meet the doyen of theatre organists: the
man whom I first heard via the horn of the family wind up gramophone. Should you ever get the chance to obtain a copy
of his book, be aware that it was reprinted in 1970 by the Vestal Press, New York, and this second edition has additional
Chapters which bring it up to date, and other bonus items such as a complete Discography and a reprint of the Souvenir
Booklet all about the original BBC Compton organ in St Georges Hall.
IAIN FLITCROFT
Born in Preston, Lancs he began taking piano lessons when
he was six years of age and the progressed to the classical organ when he was 12. At the
comparatively young age of 15 he was the organist and choirmaster at St Pauls Church at
nearby Farrington. One of many organists who owes success to a period of entertainment
at Blackpool, both on the Piers and at the Ballroom WurliTzer. A recipient of the Cinema
Organ Society’s Ian Sutherland Award in 1989, and has held the position of resident
organist at the Worthing Assembly Hall WurliTzer for the past 20 years. Has made three
solo recordings; SOUNDS OF THE STATE [COS 113] recorded at the Gaumont State,
Kilburn in 1988; GRANADALAND WURLITZER [OS 213] at the former Granada
Studios Tour WurliTzer in 1995, and finally IT’S THE TALK OF THE TOWN [WWCD
1050] at Worthing in 2003. He also appears, along with several other organists on CELEBRATION; 25 YEARS OF
THE ORGANIST ENTERTAINS [CDGRS 1273].
GEORGE FLEURY
One of Europe most eminent organ and keyboard players with an often mischievous sense of
humour that he injects into his concert performances. Has made a number of concert and Organ Festival appearances
26
in this Country, but his recordings are not readily
available other than by mail/money order, or from
his concert appearances.

The Future of ORGAN1st
We were both sorry to announce that issue
32 would be the last issue of ORGAN1st.
However we felt it was time we moved on
and covered more of our customers and not
just the 10%-15% who subscribe to the
magazine (we now currently have around
7,000 customers in 50 countries).
Issue 32 seemed like a good issue to stop
as it marks eight years of the magazine, ten
years of selling organ recordings & books
and ten years of our website being online.
We also felt it was right to announce the
closure three issues ahead of time, rather
than just closing without warning.
As you will be aware, there is a lot of
material in the magazine which takes time
and effort to layout and research. While
subscribers have stayed pretty constant
during the eight years of the magazine (and
while it was never our intention to make
any money on the magazine anyway), more
and more people are buying from us and
not subscribing, this is especially the case
with website orders. Therefor,
it has reached a stage
where the
magazine is taking
a lot of our time,
for less and less of our overall customers.
People have commented on the amount
of duplication on the catalogue side of the
magazine, but this had to be done as this is
the way the magazine pays for itself. There
are also a few people who only subscribe
and do not buy, which makes the magazine
even more un-economical.
We realised that for the cost of printing
1,000 copies of the magazine, we can
get 6,000 smaller A5 full-colour ones
printed and this would be a better way of
keeping everyone informed. We can also
send batches of these out throughout the
year which would avoid the busy months
associated with a quarterly mailing.
The first of our 16 page A5 full-colour
catalogues is enclosed with this issue (this
was published in mid-June) and these will
be sent to our customers free of charge
(past subscribers will be the first to get
them when the magazines have stopped).
Hopefully, the catalogues will be produced
2-3 times per year and will include a
selection of around 80-90 CDs & DVDs
including all the new releases.
Our books and Hammond jazz CDs will
continue to be available on our website.
Credit for Subscribers:
We have already been crediting customers
who have subscribed past issue 32. This is
being done by a refund on their credit card
order (or by credit notes for cheque/
PO orders). Anyone who has
not been credited yet
(i.e who did
not order
anything from the
last magazine), will receive
a refund on their next credit card
order. If you are sending a cheque
or PO, you can deduct the amount from
your order as follows:
£1.88 if you expire on issue 33
£3.75 if you expire on issue 34
£5.63 if you expire on issue 35
£7.50 if you expire on issue 36
(plus £1.88 for each additional issue)
You can join our free list at:
www.organ.co.uk/subscribe
You just have to add your email address and
each mailing includes a simple “unsubscribe”
link if you want to cancel.
You can also bookmark our “What’s
New” page at www.organ.co.uk/new as
this will be the quickest way of spotting a
new release. We usually add CDs the same
day we get them (even before if details are
known).
We do, of course, thank everyone who has
subscribed to the
magazine in
the past and we hope
you will continue to find our
A5 catalogue of interest. We
would also like to thank everyone
who has added their profiles and features.
Particular thanks go to Alan Ashton,
without whom there would never have
been a magazine. His constant features and
reviews have proved invaluable over the
years and along with the late Tony Back,
virtually filled the magazine.
Many back issues of the magazine are still
available on our website for free downloads,
if you have missed any issues.
...Ian & Gerry King
We would like to avoid refunds by cheque
purely for the time and cost involved, but
if you do not want to buy anything and
want a credit (in postage stamps for small
amounts), please let us know.
ORGAN1st Online:
Our website will still continue to carry
our full range of around 1,300 organ
CDs, DVDs & Books and we intend
to expand our e-mailing list so we can
update customers with new releases on a
monthly basis.
