A good interview. Lots of info re: studio equipment past and present.

EQ: How come you never got into using the Mellotron? Or did you try
it, and decide it was something you didn't like?

PT: They had one at IBC as soon as they came out in 1967 — the Bee
Gees had asked for it. I thought it was horrible. At IBC they also had
a wonderful Lowry Lincolnwood organ I used on most Who recordings
instead of the Hammond.
