City Boy WAS:Re: [Mellotronists] how to make them cry

"Got myself a secret in a briefcase/
Desperation rendezvous and don't be late/
Mata Hari maiden, milky silky stocking/
Freezen' war lolly, going iron curtain shopping."
City Boy

..What?... as in "5705" ?

Blimey. Did they use a Tron then?

++The website says "Yes", and I'm not that familiar with their material to tell. I just dusted off my five CB albums to put down on tape. After listening to them, I figure I'll tape about half of the songs.

Heard rumours of 'Tron use on their first album, but can't hear it for the life of me. Any on any of t'others? Where does it mention it on their site, please? Had a look but can't trace any reference.

Cheers,

++ I think it was in one of their bio sections; it might have been in the bit from the Gibraltar Rock entry.

Ah - that'll be the same erroneous source I'd seen before, then! No apparent 'Tron on the album - obviously wishful thinking on the part of the reviewer.
