I've certainly not heard this since I had the vinyl.  Wow.

How come no one uses big old church organs anymore?

because they're terribly hard to find. and few people know how to repair them. it's like building restoration in the u.s. if it's old, tear it down!

While living in Boston, I worked at Old West Church, which has a nationally-renowned pipe organ.  Amazing sound.  I always wanted someone to play "In a Gadda-da-Vida" on it, but no one took me up on it.

Last church organ I heard in rock songs: the openings to GM's "Faith" and Jellyfish's "The Man I Used to Be."

There's something about this Dave Mason album that still rings true to me.  Maybe it was due to my largely unhappy adolescence, but there are several songs here that I found/find refreshing & optimistic, even romantic, although I was not myself much of a romantic then.
