Hi
Is there a label that merits buying this LP, I see there is a 12" made in Germany is it audiophile quality?

does he have any more good drum solos and if so which ones and on what labels

Im a drummer...not pro, just a crazy amature. Phil, for those who understand drumming technique, is an AMAZING drummer. Period. The only reason that he has Chester playing with him (aside from the fact that hes an excellent drummer) is because Phil cannot sing and drum to every song. Its quite simple. He is one of the most relaxed technical drummers out there. So much so, that he looks like he is not doing much. Thats one way you can tell whos great and who ok. Vinnie Coliuta (studio drummer and most recently with Sting) is VERY technical and it shows. But that does not necessarily means he is better than Phil (as an example). If you want to see, or hear, one of the BEST drummers of all time (IMHO) check out Billy Cobham.
Also, I second TVAD's suggestion about Brand X. Heck...Im going to look at my LP FFS...(you never know, Tvad may be in the credits...lol...)

nuff said.
>>I'll never understand why he gets no respect from some people<<

I think his cover of "You Can't Hurry Love" says it all.

Yuk.

Double yuk.
FWIW I am no fan of the gated reverb drum sound - it was one of the steps on the way towards the loudness wars. This was one of the first few songs to use this technique and may have popularized it.
