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. Passion and Warfare was written based on a series of episodes of dreams that Vai had when he was younger, and in the album's guitar notes book Vai summarizes it this way: "Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur arranged for Mel Blanc." It was all recorded at Mothership Studios in his Hollywood Hills home, a 1,600-square-foot (150 m2) building that also recorded his guitar parts for Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue. Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale has small spoken parts on the album; Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg and Rudy Sarzo are credited with backing vocals. Vai claims that planning for the album began back in 1982, but was postponed after joining David Lee Roth's band and was not resumed until the breakup with Roth in 1989.

The cover was a symbol of the state the band was in at the time, as neither the famous "Boney M." logo nor the band members appeared on the cover, but were replaced by an anonymous drawing. The Dance with Eyes was recorded with several session singers. Original band members Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett only appeared on a few tracks, focusing on Reggie Cibo. The singles "My Cherie Amour" and "Young Free and Single" were released by Boney M. as a quintet, in which former band member Bobby Farrell returned; both these singles and the album suffered a resounding failure, both critically and commercially, and in early 1986, the band and producer Frank Farian parted ways after a special television release "10 years of Boney M.", dedicated to the anniversary. ...more
