80.0. "Alcatrazz" by FACVAX::BUCKLEY (Third generation got nuthin to say!) Wed Aug 22 1990 09:50

    I can't believe there isn't a note in here on the band Alcatrazz!
    
    I really like their older stuff...well, older is all they really have
    as they have disbanded, but here is a discography:
    
    * No Parole From Rock n Roll  (w/Yngwie)
    * Live Sentence  (w/Yngwie)
    * Disturbing the Peace  (w/Vai)
    * (one more, forgot the name)  (forgot the guitarist)
    
    
    No Parole is like my FAV Yngwie album of all time...his best playing
    and songwriting EVER (imho) is on this album!!!
    
    Live Sentence was released after Yngwie had announced he was going
    solo.  It was a quickie thrown out to target the Yngwie-buying market!
    It was recorded live in Japan...the album quality is really bad (edits
    are horrible!!!), but there are some good moments there.

	You're right Buck, Yngwie's great on 'No Parole'!! Some well written stuff on that album. BTW, I think the last album was Dangerous Games. Steve

	For a better look at the talents of Yngwie, you might want to invest in the Steeler concept album with Ron Keel on vocals. B.O.

	Does anyone know if 'Disturbing the Peace' was ever released on CD? I have the 'CD International' book which lists all CD's that are currently available, but all that's listed is 'No parole' and 'live sentence'. Steve

	I believe I've seen it, but as an import.
80.8	No Parole IS awesome!	CGVAX2::GRENIER		`Mon May 11 1992 19:23`	6
	Well, at least I know it's out there. Now do I want to spend the $$$ for an import. Unfortunately, the tape deck decided to eat my tape. 8^( Steve
