Christine’s mellotron was rarely used on those 71-74 records. “The Ghost” is an obvious example, as others have noted. I do remember reading a book on the band where a 1972 concert was reviewed: Christine played parts of “Black Magic Woman” on the mellotron, too.
She was a quiet pioneer. She had one of the first arp string ensembles (which she used for “Why,” “Prove Your Love,” and “Come A Little Bit Closer.”) I believe real strings were arranged for “Keep On Going”— but I could be wrong.
