2018 three CD archive release. Although this collection of unreleased recordings only covers a small part of the Graham Bonnet story, few frontmen can claim to have had such a lengthy and diverse journey. Reel to Real: The Archives 1987-1992 focuses on a short five year period when the singer was partly based in Australia. Kicking off with three tracks recorded in Los Angeles in 1987, they feature Alcatrazz guitarist Danny Johnson. Five tracks were recorded in Adelaide, Australia in 1989 during the period that Graham had relocated down under. Before finding worldwide fame with Rainbow in 1979, Graham had enjoyed some of his biggest solo successes in Australia, which would explain the inclusion of covers of Bob Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue', and the aforementioned Bee Gees' disco staple 'Warm Ride' on the two 1989 solo concerts featured on discs 2 and 3, recorded in Melbourne and Adelaide respectively. Although slightly incongruous amongst the hard rock of Rainbow, MSG and Alcatrazz, the songs actually sit comfortably among Graham's solo versions of 'All Night Long', 'Since You Been Gone', 'Desert Song' and 'Island In The Sun'. Solo tracks such as Russ Ballard's 'S.O.S.' are included as well as Alcatrazz's 'God Blessed Video', anti-drink-driving anthem 'Will You Be Home Tonight', plus many more tracks.
