Legendary vocalist Graham Bonnet (RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, ALCATRAZZ, IMPELLITTERI) will release a previously unheard album from 1975 as first part of the newly launched "Graham Bonnet Archive" series. "Private I - The Archives Vol. One" will be made available digitally from January 22 via iTunes and all other major digital media outlets. Before there was RAINBOW, before there were the solo hits "Warm Ride", "It's All Over Now" and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", Graham had written and recorded his first post-MARBLES solo album. Sadly, this LP never saw the light of day way back in 1975 for a number of reasons. However, 40 years later, this is about to change. Newly remastered from the only still existing tape source, "Private I" contains 12 diverse tracks and shows a side of Graham's voice that many may have never heard. Graham recalls, "Those sessions were great fun, and it was exciting to be recording, for the first time, my own compositions. "We had some great people playing on the record. I recall Rick Wakeman was on one track, along with Phillip Goodhand-Tait. Oh, and my wife at the time, [British actress] Adrienne Posta... I played a lot of the instruments, as did my producer Kaplin Kaye." "Private I - The Archives Vol. One" track listing: 01. Here Comes The Rain 02. What's This 'Ere Then 03. Private Eye 04. Let Me Off This Time / Saturday's Gone 05. Back-Row In The Stalls 06. She May Not Be Much To Look At 07. Ade's Song 08. Mamma Mine 09. Relaxae (Jazz Me) 10. Don't Drink The Water 11. Dreams (Out In The Forest) 12. We're Free Bonnet recently unveiled his new group, the GRAHAM BONNET BAND. Currently making preparations for a 2015 tour, the GRAHAM BONNET BAND is a four-piece hard rock outfit that also features guitarist extraordinaire Conrado Pesinato and bassist Beth-Ami Heavenstone.
