Hi, Steve, that was an impressive list of credits!

I used Jim Shelton and Bob Ludwig for my recording of the St. Thomas
Church organ...and then left town never to produce Volume II of Organs
of NY. Fortunately, I might have partially inspired JAV Records which
are doing a wonderful job. We had a devil of the time fitting those
10,000 pipes into that tiny groove. Bob had to work some magic as a
compromise between my purist desire and semi-reasonable trackability.

Your comment below about Burwen? I did not recall them making a
declicker, but they did make a sliding denoising filter which was
underwhelming in most applications.

One thing I've heard a bit about is from 1947 via Philco Radio Time and
the Burl Ives Show: the Philco Electronic Scratch Eliminator. I had not
realized there were attempts at this--especially at the consumer
level--so early. How did it work (that is both a technical question and
an aesthetic question)??

Cheers,

Richard
