ALCATRAZZ – The Official Bootleg Box Set Vol. 2 (1983-1984) (2022)

Cherry Red / Hear No Evil are releasing “ALCATRAZZ ; The Official Bootleg Box Set Vol. 2 (1983-1984)“, the second box of unreleased live recordings by the band featuring Graham Bonnet & Yngwie Malmsteen.
Kicking off at the Golden Bear in Huntingdon Beach, California, in December 1983, Disc 1 features a healthy selection of songs from Alcatrazz’s debut. A Japanese tour was booked for early 1984, from which the Osaka date on 24th January 1984 was recorded at the Festival Hall, included here on Disc 2.
Disc 3 features a set recorded at Graham Central Station in Albuquerque in New Mexico. Highlights are ‘Too Young To Die… Too Drunk To Live’.
The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio, had long been an important mid-west venue for touring rock bands in the 1970s and 1980s, so the band were guaranteed a warm welcome for their show there on 23rd May 1984, reproduced here on Disc 4.
This collection concludes with Disc 5’s gig on 8th June 1984 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. As an extra bonus, CD5 finishes with an interview originally released as a single promo B-Side, a Public Service Announcement from Graham, warning against drunk driving, plus three instrumental demo tracks…

Mighty ’80s Los Angeles-born, guitar-driven, rock icons ALCATRAZZ announce the release of their fifth studio album, aptly titled ‘V‘, which is set for release via Silver Lining Music on October 15th, 2021.
The album features the new ALCATRAZZ 2021, including highly respected shouter Doogie White alongside founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea on keyboards and bass respectively, Mark Benquechea on drums, and Joe Stump on guitar.
Since the first song you can hear the chemistry between this new line up causing the musical fire. It’s one hell of a reminder that when ALCATRAZZ is firing on all cylinders with all guns blazing, they are a vital part of any metalhead’s day…

ALCATRAZZ – The Best of Alcatrazz + Live in the USA [feat Yngwie Malmsteen] [2-CD] (2021)

Specialized British label The Store For Music has released the double CD “The Best of Alcatrazz + Live In the USA“, comprising ALCATRAZZ best ’80s songs into one disc, plus a live recording into disc two also including unreleased demos.
Formed by vocalist Graham Bonnet (of Rainbow fame), Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea in Los Angeles, back in the early ‘80s, ALCATRAZZ featured the services of top guitarists Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, both line-ups represented here by salient tunes from their four studio albums.
There’s ALCATRAZZ ‘best of’ releases already, however the sound quality here is surprisingly better than some recent remasters.
Additionally, the bonus disc ‘Live in the USA’ also sounds great – it’s not easy to find Alcatrazz live recordings from the Malmsteen era in such fine quality. And there’s some cool demos for fans / completists…

ALCATRAZZ – Born Innocent (2020)

The now legendary rock combo ALCATRAZZ will once again throw down a studio gauntlet on July 31 with “Born Innocent“, its first studio venture since 1986’s “Dangerous Games”. Alongside the unique vocal prowess and range of star frontman and founding member Graham Bonnet, “Born Innocent” features fellow founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea.
And from the classic album art, featuring the mighty rock itself, “Born Innocent” is a journey into the sort of heavy, melodic and supremely articulated hard rock that is a cornerstone of the likes of RAINBOW and the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, territory ALCATRAZZ successfully strode in the ’80s before going on hiatus.
