The legendary theatre organist Billy Nalle recorded several songs on the Strand’s Wuritzer for the Reader’s Digest set, “The Might Pipe Organ Plays Golden Favorites” which was released in 1979. His version of the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers on disc 2 showcased the many percussion capabilities of this instrument.

Supposedly, there is only one surviving recording of the Roxy’s main 5-29 Kimball organ. The performance is introduced by Ben M. Hall. Copies may be purchased from www.esteyorgan.com/recordings.html
