brownie Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 chewy, that's one to get! Philly Joe and Elvin play together thru the album. As Ira Gitler writes in the liner notes: 'Throughout most of the album, both drummers keep time together, but one is usually more active than the other, playing fills and accenting more heavily while the other stays closer to ''straight time''. Also when one drummer plays a long solo, the other keeps time on the high-hat'. On stereo Philly is on the right channel and Elvin on the left one. I have the mono version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Get the Collectables two-fer which combines "Philly Joe & Elvin: Together" with "Philly Joe's Beat". It has the entire LP, even though the CD says it doesn't. Nothing is omitted from "Philly Joe & Elvin: Together" as far as I can tell.

bertrand Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Funny - the way the timings are listed on the back makes it look like they cut out all the drum solos! I have the complete European pressing. Bertrand. Edited December 28, 2006 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I believe the timings on the back of the Collectables CD cover are incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timings on the back of the CD are totally incorrect and would lead one to believe that the tracks are edited. They are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Overall, I've always been a bit disappointed listening to this date. May try it again sometime. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it expecting a "Wow" and got a "ummm, OK". I guess I thought it would be a bit more bombastic? Hank still plays pretty good though.
