Hey there!

I'm trying to get a Rolling Stones - Mellotron presentation together
for a rolling stones forum combining relevant info on the machine(s)
they owned and used, also the sounds and the songs they appear on.

My main sticking point is not having access to a mellotron. I don't
own one, so would someone be willing to work out parts from the lp's,
I can provide mp3's from bootlegs etc which have the parts more
separate from the backing, and record for me some examples with the
relevant sounds as heard on their tracks?

The two main parts I am interested in are...

flute part on Jigsaw Puzzle:
Heard on left speaker of the official album release with loads of EMT
plate reverb.

mandolin on Factory Girl:
mistakenly credited as a real mandolin played by Dave Mason

Any help would be much appreciated!
