My experience with over 40-50 organ CD's seems to reveal that the big
company's, Sony, London, Philips, etc seem NOT to include organ specs in
the written material for single and double CD's.  The very small specialist
companies seem often to try inserting a separate spec sheet or a third fold
with multipage CD literature.  Organ fans with the need to know this kind
of detail probably fall into the "nerd" category as percieved by record
producers.  (Even a 1994 - 7 disc set of Messiaen/Gillian Weir completist
set from Collins did NOT include the specs for the very excellent Danish
organ.)
