According to"The Billboard Book of Number One Hits", regarding "96 Tears": “One of the song’s attributes that has merited attention the past two decades has been its acclaimed use of the Farfisaorgan. It was a surprise, then, when Martinez(Lead singer/songwriter Rudy Martinez), revealed in a 1982 Goldmine interviewwith Jeff Tamarkin that the group used a Vox organ, not a Farfisa” . The Rolling Stone "Encyclopedia of Rock&Roll" also attributes itto a Vox, also mentioning the common assumption that it was a Farfisa. However, our friend Eric fromBoss Guitarsapparently spoke to Lavern, the band's manager, in 1997, and this is what he said:"Not many people know this, but the organ used mostly on the bands first album "96 tears" was a big Lowery organ. Not a combo organ. Live they'd usually use a Vox continental or a Combo Compact Farfisa."Exactly what model Lowery he didn't know. So score one more for the venerableLowrey home organ!
