Alone I Play is a special limited run DVD/CD combo set by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, which was released November 10, 2007 on Invisible Arts. The album was recorded and videotaped at Malibu's Woodshed Recorder on November 7, 2007, the day before Davis embarked on his first solo tour, the Alone I Play tour. Alone I Play was recorded and packaged in CD and DVD formats and prepared for sale in no longer than three days, where it is sold at venues where Davis performs (although a commercial release is planned). The album features songs originally composed by Davis and Gibbs for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned, as well as classic and uncommonly performed Korn songs. Despite the fact that this is a solo effort, three members of Korn's backup band appear on Alone I Play: keyboardist Zac Baird, guitarist Shane Gibson and percussionist Michael Jochum. The renowned and eclectic Indian violinist and composer L. Shankar, also known as Shenkar, also makes an appearance. The album's title is a pun on Korn's 2002 single "Alone I Break".
Most copies of the limited edition were sold on the Alone I Play Tour. However, the last six copies (often known as the super limited edition) were sold on eBay for charity.
The limited edition was the original release. It was quite different from the standard edition (a re-release that is being sold online for $25). It is quite rare, as only 1200 copies (including the six copies of the super-limited edition) were made. The CD content is the same as the re-release, but the packaging and DVD content is slightly different.
The front cover looks almost identical to that of the re-release, the only difference is that the limited edition does not have Jonathan Davis' name on the front cover. The back cover does not have the list of tour locations. There also isn't a barcode, because it was a tour release.
