The Moodies used the MkII in their post-Go Now, pre-Days recordings.  Check out the 'Prelude' CD for ample evidence of this.  If you listen closely, you'll notice Mike playing mostly single lines, sometimes two note lines, very few chords.  I assume that this is due to voltage/tuning problems, particularly in those earlier, unmodified m/c's.   Martin?
 
Days incorporated MkII on all band cuts:
Dawn is a Feeling - MkII violins (Station Two - Mike's mainstay)
Another Morning - Tenor Sax / MkII Violins (Station Two)
Peak Hour - Italian Accordion / Church Organ (Station Six)
Tuesday Afternoon - Tenor Sax / MkII Violins (Station Two)
Time to Get Away - MkII Violins / Tenor Sax (Station Two)
The Sunset - MkII Violins (Station Two) w/ orchestra strings overlaid
Twilight Time - MkII Strings (Station Two)
Nights in White Satin - MkII violins / MkII violins/MkII Brass mix (Station Two).  The flute is Ray (even a tron can't play that bad!).  And yes, tenor sax is correct.  I thought different until actually playing it on the MkII (and in my 
present rig of Pinder CD-ROM/sax and M400/3 violins).
