The Mellotron Group

I've read someplace that he 'didn't believe in stealing other people's 
music from them' which is what he thought the Mellotron did. Considering 
that he appropriated (and desecrated) so much by Copland, Ives, etc etc 
that seems to be a fairly wild thing for even *him* to say.

He used one once though on a Nice record. Can't remember the title; 
something about 'apples' and 'the moon'. Bloody awful, as you may expect.
