Re: [Mellotronists] BBC Mellotron Documentary

Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks Martin&all,
Pete


Actually, rumor has it that this was a VIDEO production until the  
Beeb visited Lower Upper Blithbury nr Rugely in Staffordshire, fabled  
home of Streetly Electronics. Production was shut down for two days  
while hasty conferences were held in London and Birmingham by top  
people in the production department of the BBC. Since incredible  
amounts of money had already been spent, it was decided to keep the  
soundtrack only and broadcast on the radio.

You have just heard the result.

PS Martin and John, next time lose the lavender tutus, okay? It's  
probably all right to wear them when people aren't visiting and the  
wife and I quite enjoyed "Swan Lake" when we visited last year, but  
it CAN be a bit much, chaps.
