Subject: [Mellotronists] Peter Gabriel


On the subject of whether  Peter Gabriel owns a 'Tron... I very much expect
he does. An anecdote recounted to me by Julian Cope (a true 'Tron devotee,
he has a fluorescent orange 400 painstakingly hand crafted by the Tronbros
... Is he on this list!?) a year or so ago told the tale of a conversation
between himself and the great Mr. G, in which Peter Gabriel commented,

"Oh you have a Mellotron 400?... Oh yes.... Are they the little white ones?"


However, he'll remember both models from Banks' use of them - he's never
used one before in his solo career, so I suspect he's gone for samples.
Could be wrong...
