Since you guys have now found Mellotron sounds on many Beatle tunes which have never seen Mellotrons, can we now please discuss in our usual focused and civilized manner the appearance of 'trons on the fab Zombies? The song,"Care of Cell 44" was my all time favorite song for a couple weeks about a month ago, and it features Mellotron strings, a melodic bass line, catchy melody, and lyrics about the singer pining for his girl who is in prison, though it's never actually explained just why she's in prison. The arrangement, performance and recording of the Mellotron part is actually pretty good, which is more than I can say about the arrangement, performance and recording of the Mellotron parts on some of my other recent all time favorite tunes like Yes playing "America" which is actually Bill Bruford cause Rick had lost interest in that song by that point or Alice Cooper's "Hello Hooray" which sounds like the player had oven mitts on while playing and was plugged into some random guitar amp in the back of the studio.
Anybody have any info on Rod Argent's 'Tron use? Or Alice Cooper's?
And speaking of power pop, did Cheap Trick ever use Mellotrons? "If You Want My Love?"
