Are  there any documents regarding how/when Olympic Studios came to
have a  mellotron? 

Or, does the instrument that appears on stones recordings  from 67 - 68
belong to the band? If so, is there any documentation  regarding the
instrument being sold to a member of the  band?


We know for definite that Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman had MKIIs.  The  first 
was featured in the film Performance and we restored Bill's a few years  back.  
Recently Mick J donated his to the Rock Hall of Fame or some such  
organisation and Bill still has his at his 15th century manor house in  Suffolk.
