The Mellotron Group

Agreed Frank - and listening to any Roy Thomas Baker, Nick Chapman or 
Mutt Lange-produced record also evokes a particular musical sound. I 
like Tony Clarke's production work - you can hear a definite improvement 
through the 'classic seven' Moodies albums and even especially on the 
Blue Jays album. Pip Williams and Tony Visconti made a show of it, but 
the sound was different for certain.
