  1. Having listened to this remarkable Rain Song demo a bunch of times now, I'm curious about the Mellotron part. As he states in the above post "‘The Seasons’ was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I’d had for it in its embryonic stage. I’d worked on it over one evening at home." The demo sounds like at least 4 guitar overdubs plus Mellotron and appears similar as we would come to know the final version. It just seems a bit out of place compared to other rough guitar demos and things we've heard in the past? Curious if Jimmy ever mentioned having a Mellotron at home in 1972 or playing any keyboards back then, other than the above interview? As he says, "not played as well, like JPJ version" but it sounds competent for a quick demo one night at home for someone who didn't play keyboards. I know there's some rough dabbling on Mellotron on the Lucifer Rising soundtrack a bit later around 1974 and the Arp synthesizer.
