Tango of the Roses by Brad Swanson - Wurlitzer 1956 model 2000 jukebox

[paulj0557]

I picked up ' The Whispering Organ Sound of Brad Swanson' ( on Thunderbird Records[ like yours] LP Stereo #9001 ). I was told he played an Allen Theater Organ on this record I have and it is an excellent electronic theater sound- probably transistorized. Allen got into theater organs because the founder said he could do better than Hammond on that end. Sure enough, but Wurlitzer's 4520 was cheaper. I've got Wurly 4500, 625t, & a '1946' model 31Orgatron. Listen to Mr Fantastic...Wurlitzer.

@paulj0557 I read somewhere that he played a Wurlitzer, which was in error. I am sure he played the Allen organ as others have said. They don't mention what type of organ he plays on the album cover, but I have compared photos of the organ pictured on the album, and it appears to be an Allen . I changed the title of the video. There is not much info to be found on Brad Swanson.
