I love this album cover, Odyssey was misspelt on it, which they said was deliberate, but later owned up:). recorded at Abbey Road straight after Sgt Pepper, a lot of Beatles stuff still lying around so it goes and Lennon's Mellotron was used on the album. .

For what it's worth, the Mellotron on Strawberry Fields and a couple Sgt Pepper songs was a rented one. In 1967 EMI bought one, and that's what The Beatles used on some later recordings. John had a Mellotron in his home studio, but it was never used at Abbey Road.
The early models (like Lennon's MKII) didn't like being moved a lot, they were kind of temperamental and needed a lot of adjustment when they were moved. Not really the kind of thing you can throw in the back seat of the car and take to the studio.

Okay, that makes more sense, svelte and portable it isn't, although I think a few bands did lug it around. Not the kind of thing you would forget you've left behind.
The source for that was a nice Rolling Stone article with The Zombies:

As Robert Fripp once stated: "Tuning a mellotron doesn't." Crimson toured from October '72 - July '74 with two mellotrons - not to have one as a spare but because both Fripp and David Cross played mellotron. Whomever did the maintenance on those must have been a busy guy.

I got a Wilson Pickett best of lp for free and was excited to put this tune on. The wrong lp was in it, a beat up scratched, cracked Temps. Oh well.

not that it's groundbreaking but it is very cool old school and solid Stone Roses

In case you're nosy and wondering whose kitchen it was, the answer's at the bottom - I wouldn't have guessed.:)

Jane's Addiction/Dinosaur Jr/Living Color played in town last night. I went to the Phillies instead (They won 4-1). My friend fixed J's gold Telecaster & they say it was a great show.
