Mellotronists

Premiata Forneria Marconi as it was on there Italian releases. I also
saw them here in L.A. in the late seventies and I thought the were
rather sketchey and a little out of sync and tune but still loved them
as well as Le Orme ( Felona y Serona),  those were the days of Manticore
records and Tony Harrington here in L.A.
