The Gebr Bruder 107 I used to take care of came with a fairly large library of books cut by the BAB Organ Co. of New York City. The quility of the arrangements ran the full gaumet. There were some excelent operatic books, pop tunes of the thirties, one book of radio show themes, and believe it or not, "The Marsaille". The opera books were magnificent. The rest of them showed little imagination, soft in the verse, loud in the chorus. It's the arrangements, not the instrument. All you have to do is listen to some of Art's, Tom Meijer's, Wayne Holton's or Rich Olsen's that have been done for the various Wurlitzer scales and those organs get up and sing.

Bruder 107 Music
That BAB music sounds great. Does it still exist? Or was it ever read into MIDI?

Most of it disintergrated, as the red card that they used was wont to do. The only book that might still be in existence would be the radio show themes. It's location is unknown at this time.
