Subject: [Mellotronists] First Mellotrons in Rock


Hi all Mellotron knowlegeable ones!
Would you say in rock n roll that the Moodies were the first to use it
regularly?
Also any idea what was the first American band to use it regularly?
Just thought Id ask.
Thanks,
Pete
p.s.spent a minute on Andy Thompson's page but no luck.


I am bereft! Seriously, though, I think most of us would agree that Graham
Bond was the first regular user (not precisely rock'n'roll, but nor were the
Moodies!). Leon Russell was one of the first Americans to use one with any
degree of regularity, although he also used a Chamberlin.
