This sounds to nice. The organ is in great condition and well tuned. A pleasure to listen to past hit music on an old but very useful instrument. There should be more of these.
The first four songs in this medley sound very similar to the first four in the ABBA medley played by "Draaiorgel de Harlekijn." Did Tom Meijer arrange this book also? This organ has a good bass section. Some organs are 'top-heavy,' being very bright and brassy, but lacking in bass. (This evaluation relies upon the recording having proper tonal balance. Some recorders are optimized for speech clarity, which rolls off bass response, and leaves music sounding 'thin.')
If you go and hear organs in person, if they're playing well, most of them have a pretty good bass section (although how large it is depends upon the size and scale of the organ. Fairground organ bass sections can have anywhere from 3 to 21 notes, plus of course pipes playing an octave higher and/or lower). But the lowest bass pipes are usually mounted under the floor of the organ and so are less directional in sound... the sound seems to come from all around when you're standing close to the organ. The higher octave bass pipes, plus the reed trombones, are usually mounted inside the middle and back of the organ case, extending up to the top of the case (the trombone resonators are actually mitered several times to bend around each other to fit inside the 'roof' of the case). They may be more or less audible depending how open the facade is in the front and how open the case is in the back. Sometimes the bass and accompaniment is quite loud when you're standing in the back of the organ with the panels open (where these pipes are usually located), and can overwhelm the melody when heard from the back. By the same token, certain German organs have the high pitched melody mixture pipes in the back (others have them in the front), and when they're in the back and you're standing behind the organ to change music etc, they can be earsplitting and you need some hearing protection to be near the organ for a long period of time :)
Imagine this as the music for an ABBA themed carousel... 🎠
This deserves at lest 100 times the views!
Imagine "Dancing Queen" and "Fernando" as Tangos, "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" as a Foxtrot ! Nice arranging.
How can you give this a thumbs down. Every time I hear it.....it makes me happy.

Dancing Queen :) but has warmer, homier, more nostagic tone
Belíssima
Это гениально! На старинном органе сыграть мелодии 1980-х! Мне очень понравилась это звучание! Великолепно!
This is genius! Play the tunes of the 1980s on an old organ! I really liked this sound! Sumptuously!
In this ABBA Medley, I don't remember what 2 songs came before Fernando.
Dancing Queen; I Do, I Do, I Do; Money, money, money; Fernando; Hasta Manana; I have a dream;
Maybe, I could have that ABBA Medley on Draaiorgel De Halengijt, my 52 key Systeme Limonaire Dutch street organ starting at C note.
Henry Henry Henry had so many...
its money money money
