  • Description

    The last few years have been a bumper time for Graham Bonnet fans, as HNE Recordings continue to reissue expanded sets from Graham's back catalogue as well as Alcatrazz, Blackthorne, Graham's solo albums and Yngwie Malmsteen's solo albums. Few singers have had such a varied career as Bonnet; first as part of The Marbles in 1968, a sporadic but successful solo career and possibly his greatest success replacing Ronnie James Dio in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow for 1979's "Down To Earth", with the worldwide hits singles 'All Night Long' and 'Since You Been Gone'. After Rainbow headlined their inaugural Monsters Of Rock festival at Donington in 1980, Graham reignited his solo career with 'Night Games' and the "Line-Up" album in 1981, before briefly joining The Michael Schenker Group for 1982's "Assault Attack". By 1983 it was obvious that Graham should recapture some of his Rainbow glory days by forming a new band with a similar vein of melodic hard rock, forming Alcatrazz with a formidable but young 20 year old Swedish guitarist named Yngwie Malmsteen. Bonnet and Malmsteen made an impressive song-writing partnership, with tracks such as 'Island In The Sun' and 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' on the band's debut offering, "No Parole From Rock 'N' Roll'. 'Jet To Jet', 'Kree Nakoorie', 'Too Young To Die, Too Drunk To Live', 'Starcarr Lane' and 'Suffer Me' also featured. Making a healthy dent on the US chart, aided by videos aimed squarely at MTV, nowhere was Alcatrazz's impact felt as strongly as Japan, where the band became instant stars. Yngwie was a member of Alcatrazz for only a short time, lasting one studio LP in 1983 and a Japanese live album released the following year. Fortunately there were bootleggers on hand to record some of this line-up's all too few live shows. CDs One, Two & Three all feature concerts recorded in Texas in 1984, and although the illicit sound quality is far from perfect, each concert demonstrates what an exciting live prospect Alcatrazz truly were, and in Yngwie Malmsteen they had found a superstar guitarist.
