The Mellotron Group

Hey Bruce:
The tron was a one off MKII 'Music Master' or something which was a converted SFX unit. So it is pretty much exactly like Rick Blechta's MKII SFX; lead sounds loaded on both sides. Gracious! never used '8 choir' sounds so I guess the tron was loaded with usual MKII stuff. The Gracious! tron is owned by the lead singer/tron player from BigElf, now. I don't think BigElf ever used it on stage; only M400's from them.

When the full Gracious! Isle of Wight video is released, it will feature their 1st live rendition of 'Supernova', from the 2nd album. 'Once on a Windy Day' followed up, them came the encore (not sure about that one). 

I'm sure looking forward to it. Looks like the drummer, Robert Lipson, is the one getting it ready, with perhaps some help from Sandy Davis.
