I can remember seeing the band on "Top of the Pops", they definitely used a
Hammond spinet, can't remember enough detail to identify the model. In
those days the BBC still had that quaint old fashioned idea that records
should reproduce a live performance, not the other way round. Acts
appearing on T of the P had to perform live in the TV studio, miming to the
record was not allowed!!!

Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. Douglas Adams

I've also read the same on a 'site somewhere.
Just having listened to the track, I see no reason why
the rumours couldn't be true....The M certainly sounds
great with my uncool (900) Leslie so with the 147/122
it must be tops. The B/C is a must if you want
reasonably low bass with your LH however, no way
around that one; although the M's & L's can still do
99% of the same sounds if you;re not worried about the
bottom octave....
Cheers, Alex

Hi all fellow Hammondeers!<BR>
<BR>
If you look at Matthew Fisher's web site he states
quite categorically<BR>
that the organ used on this track was indeed an M
series organ, an M102<BR>
if I remember correctly. <BR>
<BR>
A friend of mine used to do organ club gigs on an L100
with a 145 Leslie<BR>
and also he had a regular gig at a restaurant called
the "Fleur De Lys"<BR>
near Walsall England and it became a bit of a mecca
for organ nuts, the<BR>
organ there was an L100 with a 122 Leslie and very
good it sounded too,<BR>
he produced some pretty good bluesy sounds and
although no1t up to the<BR>
standard of the C3 or B3 it was easier to carry around
split than the C<BR>
or B would have been.<BR>
<BR>
Best Wishes to all.<BR>
