V/A-The Rime of the Ancient Sampler—The Mellotron Album
Sadly out of print at the time of this writing, this 1993 tribute to the
‘tron was released on Voiceprint UK and features contributions from such
prog rock luminaries as Mike Pinder, Patrick Moraz, David Cross, and
Bill Nelson, as well as tracks by a host of other performers, all of
which were specially commissioned for this disc and of course feature
the Mellotron. Also included is a recording of the original 1964
Streetly Electronics demonstration disc, showcasing the instrument’s
various voices. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the opportunity to hear
any of the above, as this now-deleted item is apparently quite hard to
come by. (I checked on eBay, and my search came up goose eggs.) I’ll let
you know if I ever find a copy. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled
the next time you’re combing through the $1 bins at your favorite local
music retailer. Who knows?
