The Mellotron Group

Tom,

I've listened to the whole album and I like it very much. 
Everybody's playing sounds really good. Your Tron is nicely 
recorded. Are you using original tapes or a newer set? The 3 Violins 
has a sweet sound, almost like a MkII. Did you run it through a tube 
preamp? Care to share your Tron recording techniques? Double track 
with stereo pan? Choice of reverb? EQ'ing, etc.?
