Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Greetings All,

I saved the older Mellotron album list of Andy Thompson and
found this under : "Non-Tron "


Marillion : "Brave/This Strange Engine/Radiation. "
First-generation samples from a real 'Tron.


Correspondence from Gordon Reid (former owner of Julia) years ago,
verified and authenticated that the Marillion samples mentioned
above were made directly from MK-I #124 . ... a real Tron,
for-certain ......

This was accomplished sometime in the early 1980's with the
assistance of Nick Magnus . Gordon's original tapes now reside
within the JKMK6 (Pappalardi's and ELO's Trons side-by-side).

Cheers, -- JK --
