Description

Title: Passion And Warfare

Artist: Steve Vai

Catalog: USA Relativity 88561-1037 From 1990

Jacket: VG++ on for some pressure marks on the rear upper left corner (see photo), otherwise near mint. Original custom inner sleeve is included and preserved by housing the LP in a plain white inner sleeve.

LP: Visual VG+ and ONLY for one mark on side two that starts on track one and extends to the beginning of track three (see photo, the mark near the center of the LP side is glare). So I actually played the section where the mark is and it does not sound at all, in fact those three tracks were dead silent, as I would think the rest of the album is and it has a GREAT warm analog sound for this type of production!!

Notes:

Passion and Warfare is a 1990 instrumental album from guitaristSteve Vai. It has been certified 2 times Platinum. It was written based on a series of dream sequences that Vai had when he was younger, and in the guitar music book of the album, Vai sums it up as 'Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur threw for Mel Blanc'. It was all recorded in 'The Mothership' studio at his home in the Hollywood Hills, a 1,600-square-foot (150 m2) building where his guitar parts for Whitesnake's album Slip of the Tongue were also recorded. (Whitesnake singer David Coverdale has small talking parts on Passion and Warfare.) Vai has many strange recording techniques, and for one of Passion and Warfare's tracks, "For the Love of God", he fasted for ten days and recorded this song on the fourth day of the fast[1]. The track Blue Powder was actually recorded in 1986 as a showcase track for Carvin amplification and given away with Guitar Player magazine in flexi-disc format. The song Blue Powder was recorded using Carvin's X-100B amplifier. Steve was introduced to Carvin Amplification by his mentor Frank Zappa who used the X-100B. (the drum performance was subsequently re-recorded for the album). The gear used to record this album was: Ibanez JEM and Universe guitars, Charvel Greenie Meanie, Marshall JCM900 amplifiers, Carvin X-100B amplifier, Boss DS-1 pedals, ADA-MP-1 preamp, Eventide H3000 harmonizer, Lexicon etc.
