Nearly  everything.




I'm anxious to know if there is any information on Mike Pinder's swell  pedal 
technique. And did he put little marks on his Mark IIs so he knew how far  to 
twist the pitch knob during his famous pitch dives?
 
I also would like to know who the first person was who ever vomited in a  
Mellotron. Why were the feet on M-400s painted black... was it because of the  
white and black keys? If so, then why didn't black Mellotrons have white feet? 
 
Why weren't Mark IIs made out of steel? I doubt they would have been  much 
heavier.
 
When did Woolly first realize that the fluon tape guides in his M-300 had  
gone south? And when Barclay James Harvest pushed their Mark II down the flight  
of stairs, why weren't they arrested for cruelty to particle board?
 
How come there wasn't ever a Mellotron drum machine. It could  have been 
called the Mellotron Beat Master or Master Beater or something cool  like that.
 
If Rick was too busy, couldn't Nick have interviewed his brother  Melvin 
Wakeman? Maybe Rick had mentioned stuff to him.
 
Is any of this in the book?
