The Store For Music label proudly announces the September 2011 re-release of the first 4 albums by Alcatrazz; “No Parole from Rock 'n' Roll” (1983), “Live Sentence” (1984), “Disturbing the Peace” (1985), and “Dangerous Games” (1986). The artwork of these epic albums will replicate the original vinyl album covers, as well as feature extensive bonus material from founder Graham Bonnet’s very own private vault.

Alcatrazz was originally formed in California, in 1983, by vocalist Graham Bonnet, who was a veteran of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, with whom he enjoyed a massive worldwide hit with "Since You've Been Gone", before joining the Michael Schenker Group.

Bonnet enlisted Swedish guitar sensation Yngwie Malmsteen, whose only work of note up until then had been as a member of Ron Keel's Steeler. After the first two albums releases and a Japanese tour, Malmsteen felt the desire to embark on a solo career.

No Parole From Rock 'N' Roll (1983) was the first album released by Graham Bonnet's Alcatrazz. It spent seven weeks on the Billboard chart. It not only launched the band, but later also Yngwie J. Malmsteen into a glittering solo career. Most famous for the future Alcatrazz anthems such as "Island In the Sun", "Jet To Jet", "Hiroshima Mon Amour", it also includes "Incubus", a guitar solo by Yngwie J. Malmsteen, which he continued to play later, throughout his solo career.

This 2011 re-release contains the original instrumental album demo sessions.
