Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hi there!

From what I've read from the internet The Graham Bond
Organisation's 'Lease on Love' single from 1965 is the earliest use
of Mellotron on record followed by the album 'There's a Bond Between
us' also from 1965.

Manfred Mann(check out the song 'each others company' from 1966 for
some great 3 violins, brass? and mandolin) and The Moody Blues appear
to be the only other bands to use Mellotron before 'Strawberry Fields
Forever' and the flood gates of 1967.

Surely there must be more? Maybe a dodgy single by some unknown
crooner or something?

Best wishes

Philip

(would love to own a mellotron, but cannae afford one!)
