Are there any documents regarding how/when Olympic Studios came to
have a mellotron? 

Or, does the instrument that appears on stones recordings from 67 - 68
belong to the band? If so, is there any documentation regarding the
instrument being sold to a member of the band?

We know for definite that Mick Jagger and Bill Wyman had MKIIs.  The  first 
was featured in the film Performance and we restored Bill's a few years  back.  
Recently Mick J donated his to the Rock Hall of Fame or some such  
organisation and Bill still has his at his 15th century manor house in  Suffolk.

I don't suppose there are any actual receipts or such relating to the
sales?

I've seen the Mick MK2 in Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall...there's a key stuck down (sigh)
what a waste of a great instrument (oh look honey what's that funny organ?)
