Non-mellotron content. An interesting article on the plans of building a mega-organ by Vandergraaf Generator keyboardist Hugh Banton: http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/hbint2.htm and more on: http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/hugh.htm Arthur

Aye but isn't what actually happened that Mr Banton stayed in the band for long enough to use their funds to complete his organ, and then when he'd finished, decided to quit and take the organ with him!!! Since the others had paid for it, this caused some wailing and gnashing of teeth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mockenrue" <mockenrue2000@...> To: <Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com> Sent: 06 February 2004 15:39 Subject: [Mellotronists] VDGG Organ > Non-mellotron content. > > An interesting article on the plans of building a mega-organ by > Vandergraaf Generator keyboardist Hugh Banton: > > http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/hbint2.htm > > and more on: > > http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/hugh.htm > > > > Arthur > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!

Funny... I listened to Pawn Hearts this morning. I had just purchased the CD, since my turntable is currenlty out of commission. It seems its missing a track from the LP ?!?! The 2nd track on the LP, "Theme One" is not on the CD. I feel like I've been ripped off! The melody for that tune has re-appeared in some other prog-rock discs from the early 70s. It has been a while since I've sat and listened to a back-to-back compare; but I do recall finding the melody in a few different records. Sorry - a bit off topic. My bad... -jh

But THEME ONE wasn't on the original album, it was just a bonus track on some releases, and it's only a cover version anyways, and ewe can get it in remastered form on the VdGG "INTRODUCTION" CD....... Peter Hammill says Virgin are talking of remastering all the VdGG albums at the mo (cos the Box set thing sold well) But he also just had a heart attack! :-O ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hofmeyer" <j_hofmeyer@...> To: "Mockenrue" <mockenrue2000@...>; <Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com> Sent: 06 February 2004 22:11 Subject: [Mellotronists] VDGG, "Pawn Hearts" > Funny... > > I listened to Pawn Hearts this morning.
