Many times during the mid-1970s I would visit the old Birmingham Museum
of Science & Industry and hear the Blackpool Orchestrion play. I was
just searching to see if any on-line recordings were available when I
came across a posting from April 2, 2006, by Paul Camps where he laments
not having made a recording.
I do seem to recall a vinyl LP being available from the museum at the
time. I believe the title was "Orchestrion Sounds," possibly on the EMI
label, although I can't be sure. Perhaps someone can confirm or even
elaborate.
