Mellotronists

Someone on the board brought up the Rhino release of Tales..  I thank you and apologize for not remembering who it was...  It is outstanding...
 
It's hard to believe that it was the follow up to "Close.." .  I guess it had to end here otherwise the Earth would explode..
 
I have a question to the wonderful knowledge on this board...  Since I don't have a tron, what makes Rick's sound so amazing at this period??  How much does Eddie play a part here?  Personally, my favorite tron period...  I know my Prophet 5 still sounds the best through an Echoplex...  Is it that simple??

I recall reading that Rick re-did the tron tapes with DBX or some 
noise reduction and of course he built his double tron with probably 
some upgrades(?) I always thought the first tron entrance 
in "Revealing Science of God" sounded fantastic,lots of some type of 
reverb was added obviously.I personally did the Tony Banks trick with 
splitting the mono signal into stereo with an echo device,and added 
reverb to both sides.
