The Mellotron Group

If it is, I'll buy it.

As far as I can tell Woolly hardly ever used any other voice on the M300 other than the strings, so my guess is that the problems started early on. Any body know what voice is on the other track from the M300 strings?

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?
