The organs in orbit CD is probably my favorite one in that series, along with "space capades"...

When Joey D was in that booth (and this was a few years ago of course) he was playing a fully digital version made by Hammond, but it was hooked up to a Leslie....as far as I am concerned, and with the eyes closed...it looked and sounded exactly the same as a real tonewheel organ. he was even able to do some of those waterfall effects...and a lot of the typical 50's/60's sci-fi sound effects on that thing.....

Out of the Organs in orbit Cd, my favorite track is "Love is just around the corner"

It's hard to find his stuff...I wish capital would re-release ALL the full source albums for the ultra lounge series....I have one CD of his that has 3 albums in one, but this track is not on it. Most of the tracks are mono. All his songs are cool cover versions.....

And speaking of mono, I wish the original, stereo david rose album would be released. This song is one of my favorites, but I have a David Rose CD that has a mono, earlier version of it:

Gay Spirits:

From the beginning to the end, this song has so many twists and turns and is very richly arranged...I always picture old aerial views of 50's era hollywood when I hear it....

Love to see someone try and do a cover of THAT tune!
