When the great 4/58W was at it's best!!
I thank ComptonLodgeStudios for releasing this wonderful recording. When I first started to play it I had not read the captions and thought it was the late Leon Berry on the Hollywood Bowl Giant Wurlitzer. He recorded in a similar style for a company called Audio Fidelity in 1958 and it was and still is the finest stereophonic recording I have ever heard. After listening to this recording for a few minutes, I realized that it does not contain the high pitch jingles and snare-drums Leon often played to over 100 microphones, some recording tones too highly pitched to be heard by human ears. I expect the New York Mighty Wurlitzer is quite capable of playing that style by Dick Leibert and it is a long time since I last heard an organ played to such a high standard. I thank Dick Leibert and ComptonLodgeStudios for re-releasing this recording. Fans of this type of music might like to know that here in Worcester England, we have what is believed to be the finest remaining theatre organ in the world, owned by Dorian Collins although I cannot remember if it is a Wurlitzer or a Compton as Dorian owned both.
Hi Alan and Thank You most sincerely for your very kind comments.
I certainly remember Dorian's Wurlitzer in Worcester. I played there many times when I lived at Compton Lodge in the Leicestershire village of Sapcote.
I now live in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales opposite my musical museum housing our collection of theatre pipe and electronic organs
where we present regular organ shows to the delight of the local population and visitors from far and wide!
By the way we do have a number of Leon Berry recordings on our channel.
All the very Best, PAUL KIRNER at ComptonLodgeStudios in the Rhondda.
Leon Barry's organ was in his basement studio a small organ, and the Hollywood Bowl never had a giant Wurlitzer, sorry. George Wright had the best theater organ records at that time .
