From the inside cover: The days of shimmering organ sounds reverberating through massive movie palaces are all but over, but the talented practitioners of this memorable art form happily still have outlets enough to convey their inimitable message. Take young Eddie Layton, for instance. As an organ missionary, Layton has spread the gospel all over the country for the Hammond Organ Company, doing his own bit to perpetuate acceptance of the instrument. In between he has sandwiched a series of globe-girding concert tours. The traveling organist also is a fixture on CBS radio. Should that term of employment suddenly evaporate (a highly unlikely possibility, judging from his current vast audience), Layton plans to insure his own perpetuity. He intends to buy a radio station of his own and lure thousands of new admirers with the sounds of Layton on records. For the impatient listener (who can't get enough of Layton on radio or anywhere else), Mercury presents a penetrating potpourri of Laytonia herein. This dazzling runs, inspiring lyricism and abundant originality all are preserved in this handsome hardworking on the Hammond.
