| 1. Amsterdam Gateway to Europe Production Amsterdam Tourist Office (V.V.V.) Side A. 1. Streetorgan: Waltz Medley 7. Streetorgan: Ik hou van Holland (I love Holland) - Side B.1. The oldest Carillon of Holland: My Bonny / For he's a jolly good fellow 7. Streetorgan March medley: King Footbal / K.L.M. March / Stadion March This LP must be produced round 1973. One can tell because the guide says that "The Van Gogh Museum is under construction". And in 1973 The Van Gogh Museum opened it's doors. For more information about Amsterdam in the seventies I can leave you in the reliable hands of the gentleman on the record. The tracks in between the spoken wordn were filled with less interesting music. So I've cut that out. From the backside: "Surprising Amsterdam - Europe's finest gateway. Amsterdam is at the hub of routes to every corner of the Continent and every corner of the world. Come by sea, by Rhyne, by rail, by superhighway. Come by air. Amsterdam is easy to reach, easy to travel from. And fun to visit. Here are the sounds of Amsterdam - vivid memories of a surprising city. |

2. Bernard Drukker - It's in the air (side 1) Hear two unrelated musical worlds coliding. "City Bell-ringer Bernard Drukker on the carillon of the Munt Tower in Amsterdam and the City Theatre Orchestra directed by Lex van Weren" Blue Skies Pennies from Heaven O sole mio By the light of the silvery moon Moonlight and roses 3. Bernhard Drukker - It's in the air (side 2) Au clair de la lune My blue heaven Blue moon Sail along silv'ry moon Over the rainbow It is only a paper moon (click on sleeve picture for more details) The B-side's "Au clair de la lune" is my absolute favorite. |

| 4. Bernard Drukker - La Comparsa Sometimes recordings just speak for themselves. However, Bernhard Drukker (1910 - ?) has played an important role for the dutch electronic organ education. He introduced the instrument at the dutch conservatoria (music academies). He wrote all of his arrangements himself and this version of La Comparsa (E. Lecuona) was recorded in 1968 on the radio-concert organ of the National Dutch Radio, which was built in the U.S. by Möller Organ Compagny. This "transportable" organ was one of the largest in the world. In this song Drukker demonstrates many of the sound possibilities. |
