Another Mellotron myth

Another Mellotron myth

2007-11-18 by MAinPsych@aol.com

I recently wrote to John Walker after hearing "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine 
Anymore" for the first time in a very long time, asking if he would confirm or 
dispel that the intro (and outro) was done on a Mellotron MkII using the tenor 
sax sound.   Seeing that the recording was made in England, it is likely that a 
MkII was available in the studio at the time.
 
His response in this morning's mail:


"So sorry to have taken so long to reply to your message.   I'm in the middle 
of a UK tour at the moment.  No we didn't use a Mellotron Mk11 for 'The Sun'. 
 It does sound as if we did though."
