Why is there such a huge difference in price on Amazon? It ranges from  
$38-114... and a mix of American and UK shipping points....

Ian McDonald,  Rick Wakeman and this groups Mike Dickson.

Timetable! It's mostly a series of  interviews with Mellotron users (past & present) 
like Pinder, McDonald,  Woolly, David Cross, Tony Banks, Blue Weaver, Doug 
Rayburn (amongst others)  plus this groups Andy Thompson. The problem is that 
there are also interviews  with people that played in bands that used ther 
tron, but they didn't actually  play it, e.g. Jakko Jakszyk, Bill Bruford 
and Dave Cousins. It gives a  different perspective I suppose, but that's all.

a hotel at Kentish Town in  London. I decided against it, as I wasn't a 
tron owner I am now!), nor am I a  musician. I now regret this!
