Makes one wonder who the first bands and musicians were that actually
bought the pricey cumbersome units & called them their own. The
majority of them in the mid 1960's went to recording studios and
never really were marketed as music instrument store items, am I
correct? Some early records by the Hollies, Bee Gees, Rolling Stones,
Eyes Of Blue, Pretty Things, etc. were only a year or two after
Strawberry Fields Forever...but it seems The Beatles used 'tron a
time or two prior to SFF...????


The Hollies? What in particular?
