I can't recall if this has come up before, but I just finished viewing The Beatles Anthology on DVD (just arrived yesterday), and on special features DVD #5 is the video of "Real Love". In that video, about a minute or so into it, is a shot of Paul sitting at a keyboard and putting his hands behind his head. Clearly in the background to his right is the left half of a Mellotron SFX m/c, I assume the very same one used on the White Album sessions. (Martin said Streetly sold it to Paul after reacquiring it from Mike Oldfield, who had purchased it for 1000 pounds at the Abbey Road 'Sale of the Century' some years ago.)
