IIRC it was a Mark V (a dual M400)---he played the "Strawberry" intro and 
then turned down the pitch control.  Wasn't that the one that Mike Oldfield 
bought at the Abbey Road fire sale for some really short dosh and sold back 
to Paul at some really much more dosh?  And didn't Martin/JB mention they 
were over at Paul's house at one point working on it?

Anyway, the original "Strawberry" intro would have been played on a Mark 
II, not the Mark V (which didn't exist back then).

...kl...M400 #805 - also probed by Martin/JB...ooo, that tickles!
