STEVE VAI- PASSION AND WARFARE - 1990- FIRST PRESS UK-FFT- GRUB17. A rare British original. Passion and Warfare is the second studio album by guitarist Steve Vai, released on May 22, 1990 on Relativity and Epic Records. He received a gold certificate from the RIAA.

ELOY-PERFORMANCE-1983-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-HARVEST-1C064-46714. A rare German original. The eleventh album of a prog band from Germany. Since the appearance of the album "Performance" on the shelves of stores, a barrage of accusations from critics immediately fell on the heads of the musicians. Eloy was accused of imitating and repeating themselves! According to critics, there was nothing new in this album, but just a repetition of the previous Time To Turn! But, despite the attacks on the band, the audience received the album quite warmly! Perofrmance is a disc very characteristic of Eloy in the first half of the 80s, Bornemann seems to still not be able to decide what to play for them: either metal, or space rock. The melodies, as always, are pleasant, but there are no particularly bright ones, and the performance, again, as always, is excellent. Dominant keyboards with (increasingly rare) guitar solos. The line-up did not change in comparison with Time to Turn, and there was only one thing - the drummer Randow returned. After a seven-year break. ... ...more
