Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] sheet music for the mellotron...

I watched Messr. Banks play it a few times live and this is the way he
did it. If you want to do a studio version, then go totally nuts with
overdubs and added octaves. Somebody on the list has said that Banks
used a mellotron bass accordian sound in the studio version but I don't
recommend doing that because of the tendency for it to cause the piece
to break out into a polka -- which would be a very shocking thing
indeed!

Have fun!

Anybody have "Epitaph" for our Spanish friend?

I guess I should have read the above post before replying to nacho's request. Hey Rick...when did you start posting in an English accent?
