I know Cream used the Mellotron in at least one of their songs.  I believe
it
was later on around 1970.

It was on 'Goodbye' from '69. Thing is, any number of artists ∗used∗ a 'Tron
in the mid-late '60s, but few of them used it ∗regularly∗, which was the
original question. Apart from Graham Bond, Manfred Mann is the other early
regular user that springs to mind. Rick Nielsen's Fuse are the first US band
I've heard of using one, but I'm sure there were earlier Chamberlin users,
as a 'domestic' instrument.
