Mellotronists

Something else you might have caught. On the song "I close My Eyes" 
you will hear at the beginning of the second verse a fast rewind of a 
tape. Well at the end of the mellotron violin, Maurice held down the 
tape to the head as he released the key. I have done this myself and 
that's gotta be what that is!! 
Good ol Mo! Always playing!!!
