Prelude and Fugue in A Minor by J.S. Bach, BWV 543. 7m36s on record. Played by Virgil Fox. From Side 1 of Vinyl 33 1/3 RPM record. Helden Classic Recordings HCR 871A 1SD. Custom 3 manual Analog Rodgers Electronic Organ at Fanwood Presbyterian Church, organ spec. (not the electronics!) designed by William F. Wrenn.

This organ uses Bessel mathematical functions in the tone generation design for mathematically harmonic tone design, same as all this series of analog Rodgers organs, which gives them the unique sound (see [ Ссылка ] for pictures and sounds!). The year is 1971. This is a straight recording from organ to disc, no reverb etc added.

Sorry about the bumps at LF - this is from my Technics SL-7 (e.g. [ Ссылка ]), I bought it cheap used and I can't work out why it does this, I used to have a belt driven Technics with S-shaped tone arm, and got the SL-7 because it was easier to use and speed was Quartz locked Direct Drive. Both have a lot of distortion as well, which annoys me. I need to get a decent record deck with low distortion, I know they exist since a friend had one and his recordings from vinyl were awesome. I'll upload more from this record later.
