I'm curious, now if they actually owned those, after all it's never a
given that stuff used in live shows belongs to the band rather
than being rented, loaned, belonging to the support team), what
strikes me is that as far as I know EML wasn't well known at all
in the UK or Europe. They could have bought those in the U.S.,
but why?

Anyone care to comment on EMLs availability and use in
England (or Europe, Japan etc.) before collectors in the 90s
started to pick them up. After all I know the Keyfax book (UK
1996) has only a short paragraph for the whole company when
usually every model has a listing. I also remember Forrest's
Analogue Synthesizers A-Z first edition had similar scant info
though the current revised edition covers them acceptably.
