I'm curious, now if they actually owned those, after all it's never a 
given that stuff used in live shows belongs to the band rather 
than being rented, loaned, belonging to the support team), what 
strikes me is that as far as I know EML wasn't well known at all 
in the UK or Europe.  They could have bought those in the U.S., 
but why? 

Anyone care to comment on EMLs availability and use in 
England  (or Europe, Japan etc.) before collectors in the 90s 
started to pick them up. After all I know the Keyfax book (UK  
1996) has only a short paragraph for the whole company when 
usually every model has a listing. I also remember Forrest's 
Analogue Synthesizers A-Z first edition had similar scant info 
though the current revised edition covers them acceptably.
