Carlo Curley - Organ Favourites (analog Compact Cassette) - 1987 - Part 1 - Toccata in D Minor

Описание: Re-upload due to finding another slightly better copy of it. The 1st one I bought had a "gritty" or slightly crackly background noise from the cassette (static?), not smooth. This copy has a smooth background but a slight high frequency noise that the 1st copy didn't have! Sigh. Nothing's ever perfect...Read on...!

Tune is Toccata in D Minor - J S Bach. From "Organ Favourites", an album by organist Carlo Curley, from an original analog Compact Cassette, from year 1987 (since the inlay says it is Allen Organ Company's 50th Anniversary). This item was never available on CD or vinyl as far as I am aware. Playing the Allen Digital Computer Organ (2-manual, model ADC-5300). I assume that this is a DLW 1000 series (Donald L. Westfield label) item. The location of recording was the Chapel at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, England. The recording was encoded in Dolby B, so I have used Dolby B decoding. Ferric (Type 1) position cassette shell. Cassette deck for playback was my Yamaha KX-393. This is from a very old and long out of print recording. If anyone has any more info. on this recording or how to contact Donald Lee Westfield (who owned an Allen dealership in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA), please let me know, I'd like to be able to ask DLW to re-release these early Carlo Curley recordings on CD or even possibly to be able to buy the original master tapes from him.
