There was a piece in TapeOp two issues back about how he and Hugh
Padham got that drum sound. Pretty interesting. Phil was a great
player. I was there with them until the Mama LP. After that ...
well ... the less said the better. The first two Collins solo records
are also pretty good. But from "No Jacket" forward, it was strictly
lawnmower beer music.
