Are you looking for something that is exclusively Mellotron or "has lots of 
it" or "a decent amount of it"?  What style of music?  The 'tron is found 
in all different kinds.

http://www.planetmellotron.com/ has an amazing discography of Mellotron 
CDs.  It's a great start.

If electronic is your thing... Radio Massacre International - 
http://www.rmi.dircon.co.uk/  ...or these 
guys:  http://www.kleonard.com/kltunes/improvisedwaves.htm  ;-)

You may want to check out this guy http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fritzdoddy as 
well.  More rock than electronic (and still an outstanding album).

All of the above are Mellotronists list members, and I obviously didn't get 
everyone who has some tunes available on CD.  Who else did I slight (aside 
from Gordon Reid, Systems Theory, Sundae Club, Chip Gremillion of Lift, 
Brendan Pollard of Rogue Element, and nearly the whole rest of the list)?

If progressive/AOR is your thing, you'd probably start with old Genesis or 
old Moody Blues.  Then dive into old King Crimson, Yes, and the load of 
others in Andy's discography.

Perhaps a little 70's Tangerine Dream?

M400 #1037 - then how come my e/g/b tapes are all worn out...?
