Alcatrazz - Disturbing The Peace (Expanded Edition) '2023/1985

Tracks list

• After a successful solo career, as well as fronting bands as
wide-ranging as The Marbles, The Michael Schenker Group, and most famously with
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Graham Bonnet formed melodic hard rocker
Alcatrazz at the end of 1983 with a relatively unknown Swedish guitarist called
Yngwie J Malmsteen, and the release of “No Parole From Rock
‘N’ Roll”.

• When Yngwie left in 1984 to pursue a highly successful career as a solo
artist, fronting Yngwie J Malmsteen’s Rising Force, Alcatrazz had not
only lost a key songwriter, but also a musician who would turn out to be one of
the most influential guitarists of the decade. Although relatively unknown at
the time, it now seems like a stroke of genius when future David Lee Roth and
Whitesnake lead guitarist Steve Vai was made his replacement for second record,
“Disturbing the Peace”.

• Wasting no time, the new look Alcatrazz returned for a second Japanese
tour in October 1984, where the band had built a loyal fan-base. Signing to
EMI’s US subsidiary Capitol Records, “Disturbing the Peace”
was released in 1985, led by the single and MTV favourite ‘God Blessed
Video’. This new, expanded edition features the single edit of
‘Will You Be Home Tonight’, plus instrumental demos of ‘God
Blessed Video’, ‘ Wire And Wood’, ‘ Stripper’,
‘ Painted Lover’, ‘ Sons And Lovers’, ‘
Skyfire’ and ‘ Breaking The Heart Of The City’
