Mellotronists

Peter Banks?  We know who Tony Kaye is, and Tony Banks.  Where was 
Peter before Flash?  ... and Who the hell is Peter Kaye? (joke)
Picture this: A record store - 1972, looking in the "G" section for 
something (can't imagine what).  Breasts and bottoms are "Flashing" 
at you from the "F" section on the left.  What are you going to do?  
Buy yet another "too wierd" Gentle Giant LP?  You already have two 
copies of "Octopus".
