| His first LP, the Mono version of "Reg At The Tower" SX 1324 |
|
This page covers some of the LP's that Reg recorded from 1961 onwards.
The illustrations are from the sleeves of those records.
A few are post 1970 recorded on other organs after his retirement from The Tower.
I am unable due to space to cover all of my collection.
Therefore I have picked out some of the more interesting and rare ones.
Especially the releases from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. Although not illustrated I do have the rare and scarce Readers Digest Box Set, "Down Memory Lane" This is a USA release and features Reg on record 1, Reginald Foort on record 2 and the remaining two (3&4) records are of American Organists. The box set goes under the title, "Organ Memories" but "Down Memory Lane" is the title used in Reginald Dixon's Discography.

| Sleeve of the USA release LP, "England's Eminent Reginald Dixon" |
|
The two LP sleeves illustrated here are releases made abroad.
The one on the left is the US Capitol LP., T 10285, "Englands Eminent Reginald Dixon" Of interest is that the Canadian release is nearly identical except for the additional heading,
"CAPITOL FULL DIMENSIONAL STEREO" on the top front of the sleeve.
The one to the right is the Dutch (Netherlands) LP release 5C-054-24160, again of interest is that the "sleeve notes" and information are written entirely in Dutch
