  I believe Brian had his own Mellotron that disappeared right after his death, along with many of his valuables. The link no longer works, is it Brian Jones related?

When they guy plays fast at the end....Considering that each note's
start and stop is a separate tape player going from play to rewind
to play again.... It's....it's..... fucking amazing!

I wonder if Brian Jones ever saw this demo.  2000 Light Years From
Home was recorded around 66 or 67.  Bill Wyman had a MKII.  Is that
the one they used?
