  it
sounds like a dead ringer for "Seven Stones". The 6c Church organ is 
  the
sound Pinder used. I hope Markus doesn't die or the world end if I

mistaken in any of this!


I do have Mike Pinder's 
original tapes from my #134 which would clear the mystery; HOWEVER, 134 has 
had bespoke tapes in it since its restoration in 2003-2004, and my memory isn't 
that good.  Brian Kehew's 2nd MkII has standard MkII tapes, so he could 
readily tell which organ is which, but I don't believe that Brian is on this 
list.
 
6C is definitely Pinder's 
choice.
