Mellotronists

Martin or John...is there any record of the names of the folks 
singing on the beloved choir tapes? Wonder if they're still alive or 
what they think of their voices being plastered all over progdom.

What's the betting they were from the world of Light Entertainment - the
Swingle Singers, maybe? What with the George Chisholm brass and David Niven
being one of Streetly's backers... Britain was a sick place in the
'60s/'70s.  :-)

Hi Charles,

We don't have a record of this but know a man who might.  We'll ask the 
question at some point as we met a chap who worked with Glyn Jones at IBC where the 
recordings were made.  Ted Taylor was one of the male voices I believe.

Best,

Martin

Would Allan Stagg, the ex Abbey Road man not be able to shed any light 
on this?
