Note that failed King Crimson singer Bryan Ferry
used mellotron and Hohner pianet "extensively" on the first
couple of Roxy Music albums...

That looks like the pic used in the early-'80s 'History of Rock' magazine
that I diligently collected at the time. Wondered why the blue background...

I think the blue background is so that the tv people can have visual
effects, i'm sure this is where the quick clip of Starless on channel
4's prog rock top ten is from. It had weird effects in the background
whilst they played anyway.
