can't say how good or bad any of them are.

i have a different cdrom at home [not from mellotron archives] that was
so awful i never used it after trying it out. glad it was given to me
because i would be demading a refund if i had paid for it... somebody
had bought it for their sampler and it was not compatible, and after
hearing it they didn't even want to bother converting it...
i can't recall who made it off the top of my head...

wondering why my pinder cdrom does not include clean versions...
