The Most Exciting Organ Ever is the second album by Billy Preston. The fully instrumental album was released in 1965, several weeks before Preston's nineteenth birthday, at a time when he was a regular performer on the ABC TV pop music series Shindig![1] The album includes "Billy's Bag", which was a favorite among British musicians and club-goers at the time.[2] Preston included a live version of the track on his 1974 album Live European Tour.
Extra songs recorded during the sessions for The Most Exciting Organ Ever were released on Preston's next studio album.
