Description
A vintage 78 rpm shellac record on the Columbia label featuring Trevor Watkins, performing “The Golden Gate of Paradise” backed with “Rose Dreams”.

A charming and unusual example for collectors of early instrumental recordings, Columbia issues or Mustel‑organ performances. A graceful and evocative 78 that captures the softer side of early 20th‑century popular music.
Artist & Label Notes
Trevor Watkins recorded a number of light‑music and instrumental pieces during the shellac era, often blending piano with the distinctive tones of the Mustel organ, an instrument prized for its expressive, harmonium‑like sound. Labels such as Columbia issued many of these atmospheric recordings, appealing to listeners who enjoyed melodic, easy‑listening pieces before the rise of LP formats. Today, these discs attract collectors of early instrumental music and niche organ‑based recordings.
