Curt Boettcher was using a Mellotron as early as November,1966
on "Musty Dusty" by Ballroom. Unreleased, that track (and a
few others using the tron ended up on the Sagittarius album (1968)
The tron also appears on the 1968 recordings by The Bards,
produced by Boettcher. These were all recorded in LA.
