Keyboards and Synthesizers used by Bill Nelson on Drastic Plastic
Avg price: $4,729.63
Bill mentions his use of a Minimoog in the 70s. "I bought a synth, (a mini-moog,) way back in the '70's, some time prior to writing the 'Drastic Plastic' album, I think. I bought it from a band/duo called 'Hudson-Ford, (an offshoot of 'The Strawbs,') who had not found the synth of much use to them. I immediately took to it and it became a major compositional tool when I created demos for the songs that went onto the 'Drastic Plastic' and 'Sound-On-Sound' albums. It also featured heavily on the 'Quit Dreaming' sessions and far beyond."
