Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

I just located the alusive Hollies mellotron track that contans lot of MK II strings.  The track is on the new Hollies box set and is called "Relax" by Graham Nash.  It is track #17 on disc two and previously appeared in the Sixties on the same charity sampler as the Beatles "Across the Universe" and on the "Rarites" compilation.  According to the liner notes, the track was recorded between January 9-11 1968 at Abbey Road.  The entire first half of the songs is filled with mellotron.  There is also mellotron on the 1971 Hollies lp "Confessions of a Mind."  Just wanted to let you know that it is finally proven that the Hollies did use tron.  Everybody have a great holiday.

We actually restored Graham Nash's MKII.  It is a rare black and gold machine which had been left standing in water for about 30 years.  John took it upon himself to play with fire and turned it on despite the state of everything and it ran for about two minutes and then died.  Unbelievable.  It now lives in California in sumptuous surroundings.
