The Mellotron Group

Very Interesting Chris! I will be listening to the album today.
No surprise they made their own tapes as well! 
Do you have pics posted here?
I met the two of them several years back. Joe is a nice guy. He was actually standing in the audience when I spoke with him. He had decided that the tour needed a more authentic Jazz pianist and they hired some other guy to do the tour.
Excellent musicians both Gino and Joe.
