The album, The Flying Scotsman Goes on Tour, was first released in 1968 and offers a Train Theme. Jackie played the pieces on this album of a 4-Manual Theatre Organ, which is thought to be that of the Granada Theatre Tooting. The album was re-released in 1972 under the title, Granada and includes additional pieces played on the same Theatre Organ by Robinson Cleaver (1906-1987).

Jackie also made some recordings at the organ under the name of Wally Green.  One such album released in 1969 was entitled Go Hammond Go and featured Jackie playing the Hammond Organ. Unfortunately, I have only one track from this album, and that is the theme tune from the film, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Another recording made by Jackie includes the following piece. However, I have been unable to discover, as of yet, which Theatre Organ he was playing:
