Mellotronists

i like this quite a lot. well done!!!! i wish i could have a full 
fidelity copy. you should upload it on the YouSendIt website in audio 
format (or some lossless format...NOT mp3).

i disagree regarding someone's comment about replacing Phil's vocal 
with Peter, though. Phil has a prettier voice which, i feel, better 
suits the song. but then, i prefer Phil's vocals (circa 1976/77... 
before he got too confident and oversang it) on The Carpet Crawl.
