Does anyone have an idea what type of organ might have been used in various studios on JA during the seventies and early eighties? for example studio one during the early seventies...

I know it probably varied alot, I'm just trying to get a picture of what kind of instruments was used.
Thanks.

Great, thanks for the help.

I see plenty of evidence that the Hammond B3 should have been the ruling organ at the time.

I love the track "Zip Code" by Robert Lynn on the "Your Jamican Girl" LP http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2233

Hehe, I like this one http://www.roots-archives.com/artwork/albums/1675.jpg
I wich I could play two instruments at the same time, or at least one...
