"Sadie Mae of St. Louis



This is a well-recorded collection of tunes from this famous old carousel band organ, well worth the price of admission. I was somewhat disappointed that there were a number of digital glitches (skips or bad edits?). The occasional digital editing designed give the effect of one melody fading into the next in some of the medleys I found a little intrusive, or at least unrealistic. All in all, however the music is delightful and joyful, the instrument obviously well-maintained and well-tuned; the sound quite present and realistic, with an absence of any distortion or overloading sometimes found in recordings of band organ. Go ahead and enjoy it!"
