GRAHAM BOND - Love is the Law

Graham John Clifton Bond (b. in Romford, Essex, 28 October 1937 8 May 1974 at Finsbury Park station, North London) was an English musician, considered a founding father of the English rhythm and blues boom of the 1960s. Along with John Mayall and Alexis Korner, Bond was one of the great catalytic figures of '60s rock in England.
Technologically and musically, Bond was an innovator, perhaps the first English musician to use the Hammond organ and Leslie speaker combination (in an R&B context), the first to "split" the instrument for portability, the first to build an electronic keyboard, and the first rock musician to use a mellotron, which can be heard on his first two LPs.

One of the songs on the first album to use a Mellotron. This predates the Beatles and the Moody Blues.
