Now to business... while reading a local music rag a couple of weeks ago, I came across an interview with Trent Reznor. The article had a "trivia section" where they mentioned that Reznor is the owner of John Lennon's mellotron... I'm guessing that it's the black and gold Mk.2, that John used to keep in his attic in Weybridge. I don't
remember if this has been mentioned in any of the postings... and the trivia section didn't give any details... can anyone on the list confirm this and add any information? Curious people wish to know...
At the time The Mellotron Book was published, I believe it was owned by Jimmy Ienner of Interscope Records in L.A.  I tried to contact him to get a pic or two, but no luck.  Updates anyone?
