I learned about it via mention from another player at the open mic last Friday. He then played a song in tribute. I changed up one of my three to "jack straw", which I played with all the finesse of a bulldozer clearing a patch of land. Someone later told me he hadnt heard that in 20 years, so I must've rendered it in at least recognizable form, for Phil.
Saw a video discussion on YT with Phil. He's an audio guy; they talked of the Wall of Sound, how the mics worked and he even knew what the capsules used were for and why that didnt serve so well for vocals. He said his bass had an individual output for each string, but he never used it "too confusing",
I've also read his book "Searching for the Sound".
RIP Phil
