The drums got lost.....

"I have the original LP. The performance is excellent. However this CD was either processed from alternate takes or someone just screwed up. In some cuts the beautiful drum work (particularly the brushes) which supports and enhances Coleman's piano just isn't there. I haven't played the original recording in many years but I've always remembered the subtle interplay between Coleman and the drummer (Charlie Smith)as they end "A Foggy Day". The first time I listened to this disc was a real letdown when that ending just wasn't there. Further listening revealed a lot of the drum work gone. If you're interested in a good re-issue of the original recording this isn't it."
