Saw this archive advertisement online. Is 'Wings' the only Hollies track to feature the Mellotron? A commenter noted that ELP didn't use one, but have been listed.

Edit: I've just seen Gee's comment elsewhere about 'Wings' and 'Stewball' live in 1969.

Frightened Lady has the strings sound also.

I find this website to be a very good resource - here is their (funny, if slightly disagreeable IMO) Hollies review on both FL and Wings along with the releases they come from:

There's also a link on the page to their review of Allan's '74 solo album, which frequently uses Mellotron.

	My husband said he'd leave me if I didn't stop stop stop speaking in Hollies lyrics but he didn't tell me to my face.
