I  think 5a is the Seven Stones sound. I remember 5c as the Cirkus  sound
although someone who actually owns a MkII would know for sure.  I've
played around with the "hammond' organ on the Pinder sample disk and  it
sounds like a dead ringer for "Seven Stones". The 6c Church organ is  the
sound Pinder used. I hope Markus doesn't die or the world end if I  am
mistaken in any of this!



I do have Mike Pinder's  original tapes from my #134 which would clear the 
mystery; HOWEVER, 134 has  had bespoke tapes in it since its restoration in 
2003-2004, and my memory isn't  that good.  Brian Kehew's 2nd MkII has standard 
MkII tapes, so he could  readily tell which organ is which, but I don't believe 
that Brian is on this  list.
 
6C is definitely Pinder's  choice.
