It's mostly a series of interviews with Mellotron users (past & present) like Pinder, McDonald, Woolly, David Cross, Tony Banks, Blue Weaver, Doug Rayburn (amongst others) plus this groups Andy Thompson. The problem is that there are also interviews with people that played in bands that used ther tron, but they didn't actually play it, e.g. Jakko Jakszyk, Bill Bruford and Dave Cousins. It gives a different perspective I suppose, but that's all.
