Cool! I noticed nobody congratulated you, Tom, so I will! Enjoy your new
purchase and good luck! :-)

Mellotrons ∗esoteric∗? Hmmmm...I don't know whether to be offended or
not. Isn't that a nice way to say "screwball"?
>Has anyone compared tapes from Mellotron.com and Streetly?
I hinted at an answer to this a while ago, if I recall, and in a very nice
way, buried in another post. Somehow we avoided Armageddon, and the world
went on.
Yeah, there are somewhat controversial subjects out here. The top 2 deal
with Watcher (#1: Which Mellotron and/or Hammond and/or banging a rock
together sounds were used; #2: What are the REAL notes that were
played). #3 actually gets to the machines themselves. The answer is, of
course, that we have some folks in the UK who do a fine job at what they do
and are committed to their craft and we have folks in Canada/Sweden who do
a fine job at what they do and are committed to their craft. For those of
us who own machines we're pretty lucky that all these guys do what they
do. And we are very fortunate to have a great bunch of folks out here who
actually CARE enough to have opinions about these cantankerous boxes and
share their experiences with everyone else, as loopy as those experiences
may be---and who flatly refuse to let that Mellotron legacy die.
And after the usual flame wars, we then get all hell-bent over...
- Guinness vs. Murphy's
- Powder vs. liquid
- Pokemon vs. Digimon
- Viagra vs. Levitra
- Levitra vs. Cialis
- Old Darren vs. new Darren
