5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out: Two versions of this CD, How to tell them apart, November 28, 2002

There are two versions of this CD, each with the same title, which is causing a lot of confusion. One contains the full "Birth of the Beat" while the other has a shortened version but also contains five songs not found on either of the two original albums. The one with 20 songs (ASIN B0000011CX) appears to be out of print but contains the full version of "Birth of the Beat", while the one with 25 songs (ASIN B00000094I) has the shortened version but is still in production. Also seems as though reviews for either version of the CD appear for both, which is only adding to the confusion.

I am totally discusted with this CD. I bought it for one song "The Birth of the Beat" - A wonderful 10 minute performance. When I played it, I found out it was a cut down version (3 minutes). Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed.

This is GREAT CD, but be careful. This is not the original "Let There Be Drums" with the extended 15 minute drum solo. This is a "combo" album of Sany Nelsons 2 albums. The title as stated is abbreviated and does not clearly tell you that.

If the drum solo is not your main reason for listening to this great artist, then don't miss this great treat.
