Mellotronists

I was thinking about the recent mention of eddie jobson; I have somewhere an 
old grey whistle test appearance by the young lad just after he joined roxy 
music. it looked like he'd inherited some of eno's stuff- there were the two 
revoxes in their stand and his transparent violin was being processed by a 
putney. amongst the keyboards were a clavinet, a roland sh1000 (first 
japanese synth and what me and steve were brought up on.) and an m400. 

I'd have to dig out the tape to remember what noises were in it, but I 
remember being puzzled by him playing the oboe solo on it instead of andy 
mackay on the real thing. 

there's no discernible 'tron on the first UK album- I think they were just 
all going bonkers over the cs80, and wetton had certainly had his fill of 
mellotrons by then, by all accounts, as had bruford. then exit bruford and 
holdsworth for bruford's own thing; dave stewart (the real one) had himself a 
prophet 5 by this time. 

and now eddie does the music for "nash bridges". I don't know if that's a g
ood thing or not- I had the sound off.
