Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0764738219621 Label: Dynamic Recording Manufacturer: Dynamic Recording Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Dynamic Recording Release Date: January 01, 2002 Studio: Dynamic Recording Editorial Review: Album Description: More marches, waltzes, and fox trots in this recording of the New Verbeeck Band Organ at Seabreeze Park in Upstate New York. On a hill above scenic Lake Ontario, the music of the band organ can be heard on the breezes drifting over the blue water. Twenty-three tunes bring back the sounds of summer from Seabreeze Park - the whirling carousel and prancing horses spin around to the music of childhood, and this fabulous recording captures the wonderful memories. Grab the popcorn, and come for a ride! This completely digital recording is crystal clear and an oversized insert includes pictures and fond memories of Merrick Price - to whom the album is dedicated. The last song was recorded on the carousel while it was moving - an innovative idea that captures the sensation of really being on the ride is enhanced by wearing headphones. This piece of Americana in music - a must for the audio collector, carousel enthusiast, or fan of mechanical music, is a one-of-a-kind gift item. Average Rating:

Rating: - County Fair TimeThe CD was used on a Saturday in August for an all day Super Saturday event at our church.We wanted a sound reminiscent of a County Fair or Carnival with Merry- go- rounds,etc.We played the CD over 2 large speakers in our parking lot and the effect was what we wanted. Rating:  - carouselCarousel Memories does not have the luster that I had expected. The music is not as clear as I would have liked, however, it does have some good qualities that make it worth while to listen. Rating: - The Ideal Merry-Go-RoundThis is a recording by and for merry-go-round lovers. It assembles 23 tracks of mostly characteristic carousel music, played upon a newly constructed band organ handmade by Belgian Johnny Verbeeck to replicate the old Wurlitzer 165 destroyed by a fire around 1995. The fire also claimed most of the carousel itself, which was rebuilt using some restored parts from the original (PTC#36). The recording site is Seabreeze Park on Lake Ontario in upper New York.
