SAVATAGE Ghost In the Ruins (Limited Edition / 180g, Orange/Black Marbled Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve)

Popis:

The tribute album to Criss Oliva

Limited heavyweight 2LP edition on marbled orange/black vinyl

“Ghost In The Ruins” (1995) was not released in grief, but to honour Criss’ legacy and celebrate some of the magical moments that he, his brother Jon Oliva, Johnny Lee Middleton, Chris Caffery and Steve Wacholz delivered on stage. Singling out one song or another doesn’t do them justice – here, they’re all highlights.

The live album was mastered for vinyl in 2023 and includes three bonus tracks form the 1987 Cleveland show – ‘Devastation’, ‘Beyond The Doors Of The Dark’ & ‘Unusual’. It’s being reissued with the original cover design, enhanced artwork including a 12-page LP booklet and brand-new liner notes by Clay Marshall who recently interviewed Jon Oliva, Johnny Lee Middleton, Chris Caffery and Steve Wacholz for this vinyl reissue.

“I think deep down inside, it bothered him that he wasn’t getting the recognition that a lot of people think he deserved, but he would just go, ‘Whatever. I’ll have my day.’ But he was great, man – a one-of-a-kind guitar player. I wonder what he would be like now.” (Jon Oliva)
