I'm going to go ahead and get today's remaster out of the way early because I have a big series to share with you today, all new, and I don't want to have to interrupt the flow of music later on in the day. This beautiful slab of red vinyl features some nice Christmas organ, if there really is such a thing. If that's your bag, then you'll really like this one, first shared out in
2007, but remastered this year just for your enjoyment. This is
Ramona Gerhard-

And look, I have an alternate cover for you as well! Now if I could dig up my copy of the
non-LP single side that was a gift to the blog a few years ago to remaster as well... Maybe next year.

I see that between the two issues Ramona's instrument was downgraded from the world's largest theater organ to just a mighty Wurlitzer.
ReplyDeleteFurther research found an organ somewhere on the west coast that was 2.2" taller and had one more bass pipe, so they had to recall all the incorrect covers and reissue it.
DeleteI wonder if there is a certification that's needed before an instrument can be called a "Mighty Wurlitzer" instead of a regular Wurlitzer.
ReplyDeleteIf it can blow your socks off at 50' while wearing laced shoes, it earns the Mighty certificate.
DeleteThis is a favorite! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. I hope it's an improvement over the old rip.
