BBC Tape Norfolk Wurlitzer Organ? This was passed on to me with a lot of other old BBC reel-to-reel tapes. Now all the BBC labels say just “Norfolk Wurlitzer Organ!” I am sure it’s either The Ex Paramount Newcastle 3/19 Wurlitzer when installed at the Kitchen Brothers garage at Diss Norfolk. Or, more than likely, the Ex Paramount Leeds 3/19 Wurlitzer at The Thursford Collection Norfolk.
I’m sure the organist is Geoff Stephenson who I believe did make 3 live LP records at Thursford so maybe the BBC just taped part of one of these LP records or they went and recorded this live concert for some future broadcast. I think it dates from around 1977. But there again I am not sure. Some good tunes anyway. Some pictures of both these two fantastic Ex Paramount 3/19 Wurlitzers which I have to say are two of my favorite UK Wurlitzer organs. And I feel very privileged to have had a go and played on both when I was much younger.
