Are there any documents regarding how/when Olympic Studios came to
have a mellotron?

Or, does the instrument that appears on stones recordings from 67 - 68
belong to the band? If so, is there any documentation regarding the
instrument being sold to a member of the band?
We know for definite that Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman had MKIIs.  The first was featured in the film Performance and we restored Bill's a few years back.  Recently Mick J donated his to the Rock Hall of Fame or some such organisation and Bill still has his at his 15th century manor house in Suffolk.
