Mellotronists

I know with the recent passing of Maurice Gibb, we mentioned Every 
Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You has the classic eerie up-
front pitching 'tron bridge, but I would gather most of us discovered 
that one via their Best Of Bee Gees album. I just found an absolutely 
mint Atco SD 33-223 copy (lavender and tan label, no less) for a 
dollar last week, and a number of songs are laced with 'tron...of 
course there is Every Christian Lion Herted Man Will Show You, but 
the opening track "Turn Of The Century" has 'tron strings merged with 
real orchestra strings (is only the Moody Blues on the Days Of Future 
Passed album the only other record that has done this?). "Red Chair 
Fade Away" has 'tron flutes all over the place, and pitch knob 
effects also. And y'know when the brothers Gibb do those long 
signature ooh and aah vocal bits...that would make a GREAT Mellotron 
choir tape. Especially when you hear that long "a" sound. Reminds me 
almost of the weird organ used in the Tornados' version 
of "Telstar"...
