| Paul Eynard Marche de Radetzky The Magic of the Barrel Organ Erato 1993 A barrel organ (also called roller organ or crank organ) is a French mechanical musical instrument consisting of bellows and one or more ranks of pipes housed in a case, usually of wood, and often highly decorated. The basic principle is the same as a traditional pipe organ, but rather than being played by an organist, the barrel organ is activated either by a person turning a crank (organ grinder), or by clockwork driven by weights or springs. Some grinded Johann Strauss as a palate cleanser |

| Egg Contrasong The Polite Force Deram 1971 Early Canterbury group Egg were: Dave Stewart (keyboards), Clive Brooks (drums), and Mont Campbell (bass, vocals). Egg toured the UK and recorded two highly acclaimed albums (Egg, The Polite Force). After struggling for over a year with hardly enough gigs to survive, Egg eventually broke up in July 1972, leaving almost an album's worth of unrecorded compositions. So when the opportunity came, in the summer of 1974, to record a third album for the Virgin sub-label Caroline Records, the trio was re-united for "The Civil Surface", but the band was not in existence anymore. |
