Thanks for the info, it was well worth reading.  If any one is into 
the late 60s I just got a DVD "So you wanna be a R&R star" mainly 
songs from TV series "Beat Generation"  Some TRON sounds from Status 
Quo and Brian Auger, and Moodies from the GO NOW days.  If you are 
into archival film you will enjoy this and can be found on ebay.  Doug

Far better than the original article, although a handful of inaccuracies, 
largely in the 'who's used one' dept. Unless, of course, I'm wrong...  :-)

 The track was "Are You Growing Tired of my Love" by QUO  and since 
I'm not familiar with their work  it sure sounded like one.  The 
Brian Auger cut "This Wheel's on Fire" is a dead giveaway.  Now if 
we could only get footage from Harrison's Wonderwall lp. Oh well, 
time to change batteries in the hearing aid!  Doug
