Chas Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Michel was correct , the organ in question was a Wersi , a Saturn W 3 T to be precise . Recorded in 1980 , the LP was issued in the U.S. on Inner City and apparently also in Germany by the Wersi company themselves . Here's the Inner City cover : Currently available on this Laserlight CD : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel devos Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) ok, just so were all on the same page, this is by all means NOT the lp i had--- the lp i had was a DEMONSTRATION lp with a white cover depiticting JUST the organ- no jimmy This LP is for sale on ebay germany. Follow this link http://cgi.ebay.de/LP-JIMMY-SMITH-The-Cat-Strikes-Again-Wersi-1980-Germany-/140459127725?pt=B%C3%BCcher_Unterhaltung_Music_CDs&hash=item20b40433ad to see a facsimile of the cover as well as the programm played. Published in 1980 by Wersi. It is not clear whether the text has been written by Jimmy himself : I think it is doubtful, the writer explains he plays an organ for 25 years but is limited in his range of expression even when using the full potential of the instrument; now that he plays a Wersi, he has many more possibilities for embellishment and will be able to play Jimmy smith sounds etc...can't really be from the master of the HAMMOND.
