The Mellotron Group

Hey Mike,

Can you  (or maybe Martin) tell us how earlier generations of these tapes were "found"?
Streetly seems like a small company so I was curious......I'm not being a smart ass just
thought it might be an interesting story. :)

Mike, examples of where the Streetly tape library mentions explicit improvements to the original sounds... (not that I'm saying these don't sound like improvements - but if purists are going to carp about any remastering of the M4000D sounds...)

Woah, Hang on there. The first two refer to earlier generation copies being found - not some weird re-hacking of the sounds to make them sound 'better'. They have better fidelity but are in themselves untouched.  That's totally different to the 'improvements' we were speaking about.
