By Eric Beheim –
Here are files of band organ music, taken from a commercial tape I ordered back in 1970 from an outfit called Baptist Sound & Manufacturing which was once located in Jacksonville, Illinois. Baptist Sound, which primarily did sound system installations in outdoor venues, sold band organ tapes to amusement parks and carousel operators that didn’t have working band organs. The recordings are monophonic, but the selection of tunes is quite interesting. Envision these tunes on an amusement park carousel or a band organ located on a circus Midway.
