I was playing some old Steve Miller Band albums fromthe late 1960's
recently, and caught the Mellotron on the Children Of The Future LP.
Noting this was recorded two or three years before M-400's were
produced, and noting also the Steve Miller Band is from
California...how did they get access to a Mark II, and did other
Stateside bands/musicians use Mk2's before M-400's came along? I'm
sure some of the answers may be quite obvious, but my mind has been
drawing a blank on this one for awhile.(Just so happy I found Gash "A Young Man's Gash" and Spirit of
Christmas' "Lies To Live By" CD's real cheap so far this week!)Greetings Mellotrongirl and Mellotron Gang,
Absolutely correct ! I bought that LP when released in early 70s
and did some back-flips upon hearing the Tron on the two tracks.Am looking at my copy as I'm writing and I have this info to share:
1) Produced in England in early 1970s ......mystery solved !
2) Assoc. producer Gus Dudgeon .....who just happened to be
producer for "Spring" and their MK-II's......So it's entirely possible that Steve Miller's LP was recorded using
Spring's MK-II in England .Another tidbid for you all.......
Gus Dudgeon and Spring also provided their MK-II to artist Al Kooper
on his seldom-heard/known LP "New York City, You're A Woman."Have a listen to that one if you can find it. Enjoy !

P.S: Congrats to the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series.
After 86 years, the curse of the Bambino (Babe Ruth) has been broken!
4 games blanking the NY Yankees in playoffs, then ditto with St.Louis
in the Series.......not too shabby. ......JK (enjoys sports besidesTrons).
