Norman, Greetings from The Bronx!  In regard to your inquiry, judging 
from the instrument's tonality and arrangement, what you have is not 
a recording of a band organ, but that of a Welte Orchestrion. 

(This is much like a similar situation wherein Klavier Records put out 
a great CD of what they called 'Carousels of Europe'.  The only problem 
is that none of the recordings are of band organs or fairground organs; 
all of the contained selections are of very large European orchestrions!
Don't get me wrong, the CD is full of marvelous music, worthy of 
anyone's collection!) 

Hope this helps,
