Too right! It always astounded me where RW found his appalling singers. 
He even managed to get some disturbingly shite noises out of Chaka 
Khan, Steve Harley and Kenny Lynch on the dubious '1984' album written 
during his Prophet and Korg 'Bewildered Period'.

They should have known better.

I suspect the reference to "Mellotron 400-D" was a confusion of 
"Minimoog model-D" and "Mellotron 400".

Come to think of it, Jon Anderson sounded as though he'd been for a few 
ales before delivering his effort on the said LP....................
