Similarly for the closing chords of 'Lucifer Sam', some of the chords in 'POW R TOC H', and the opening to 'Interstellar Overdrive' (only heard in the mono version, somehow mixed out of the stereo one) - all M-102." Regarding Piper, for years it was hard for me to tell where on the album Wright played his M-102, but if you listen to the opening chords of 'Astronome Domine', that is clearly an M-102 and not a Farfisa (which is, however, present in the organ solo). "Wright also played a Hammond M-102 from the Piper sessions until the DSOTM sessions, when he switched to a B-3 (by then being able to afford one).
