I believe the best people to contact would be Martin Smith and John Bradley (son of Les Bradley, the inventor of the Mellotron), at Streetly Electronics. They have all of the original masters (and I assume the rights to them), and make new tapes as well as servicing Mellotrons etc. Have a look at the website: <http://members.aol.com/tronpage/streetly/streetly.htm> <http://www.blackcat.demon.co.uk/tron/> Neil -- Neil Durant <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
