I am sure that this must have been discussed, but I amcurious what rights the original Mellotron musicians have/had when theyrecorded the original tapes. I also wonder about sections of popular music thatused actual Mellotron performances (like the beginning Spanish guitar run in BungalowBill). The guitarist who performed this could say that he/she performed on aBeatles song! This is obviously a different story than the violinist who playedone note for 8 seconds. I would not expect these musicians to get credit forthe Moody Blues or Crimson songs… Where is the line drawn?
