No Parole From Rock N' Roll (1983) was the first album released by Graham Bonnet's Alcatrazz. Weeks on Billboard Chart: 7, Peak: #128. Considered by many to be the best Alcatrazz release and launched Yngwie J. Malmsteen into a glittering solo career. Most famous for the single "Island In the Sun" and "Jet To Jet". Other notable offerings are "Hiroshima Mon Amour" for which a video was shot (an excerpt for which was seen on the BBC TV progam The Tube), General Hospital and "Incubus", a solo by Yngwie J. Malmsteen he continued to play during his solo career. This is an impressive release from an impressive lineup consisting of ex-Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet and guitar virtuoso Yngwie J. Malmsteen that never reached the commerical acclaim it deserved. It has always had a strong following in Japan and songs from which can still be found in Karaoke bars today.
