The DVD of Mellodrama is now available here! http://www.bazillionpoints.com/?p=438

It has a great history of the Chamberlin, Mellotron, Novatron, Birotron, etc. A very nice DVD, great packaging with lots of extra takes--great interviews with a wide range of musicians from many eras. I just watched it for the first time and enjoyed it very much--great archive footage and history :yes:

Mellotron enthusiasts are probably already aware of this site, but for those who aren't it's a great source of music which was made with the mellotron. I've discovered a few bands here over the years. They also advertize the Mellodrama DVD on their welcome page:
