FZ Original Recordings; Steve Vai Archives, Vol. 2


FZ Original Recordings is only available in The Secret Jewel Box set. Steve Vai reflects here on his three years as a member of Frank Zappa's ensemble where he was credited not just as "guitarist" but as wielder of "strat abuse" and "impossible guitar parts." These are Frank Zappa recordings, written and produced by Zappa, and authorized by the Zappa Family Trust.
The booklet contains the original liner notes for each Zappa track, along with Vai's comments on each track.
