The Witch's Promise

 * ... that "The Witch's Promise" is the only Jethro Tull single to feature a Mellotron? Source: "and played piano and Mellotron on "The Witch's Promise" Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play: Inside Two Long Songs, Tim Smolko IUP p. 9 "Tull are a bit of an odd one on the Mellotron front; they toyed with using one a handful of times, then gave it up as a bad job. First heard on their early 1970 single, Witches Promise" Planet Mellotron
 * Reviewed: Doom Island
 * Comment: Was previously deleted at AfD; this is a complete rewrite. (In anticipation of a follow up question, we think Planet Mellotron is a reliable source for this specific claim; the author Andy Thompson is name checked on the Streetly Electronics website, in Sound on Sound and (particularly) in Nick Awde's Mellotron book as being a Mellotron expert. It's possible to verify the claim by going through all of Jethro Tull's back catalogue and cross-checking for what is credited for 'Tron and what isn't; this is simpler.)
