Hi Mark,
 
The masters are no longer with us as they were privately purchased.   
However, as I recall there was only the choir and maybe some odd violin  phrases that 
hadn't already been coverted to 1" loop masters on very sheddy  Ampex 456.  
The raw takes were long gone so there was nothing we could do  to reconstitute 
the original takes.  The necessary 'start' info was  missing.  I'll check out 
the violin phrases again as they may be of some  use but that's about it.  
There was a whole collection of instruments that  were NOT mellotron derived but 
nothing we could work with.  We did try  playing a loop master and it clogged 
the heads in about as much time as it's  taken to type this!
 
Best,
 
Martin
