Graham Bonnet opens his archives

A couple of days ago, Graham Bonnet announced his new group and hinted at a new album while casting a glance over his shoulder into the ’70s, the pre-RAINBOW era. It was then that the singer’s solo career started with an array of singles and two LPs. The first of those was Bonnet’s self-titled album released on a certain Beatle’s Ring O’Records in 1977 yet, as it turns out, there was another record before that, laid down in 1975 but shelved for some reason – only to be out on January 22nd on iTunes and other digital media outlets as “Private i – The Archives Vol. One.”

With Graham in a multi-instrumentalist role – and a writer’s too, as there’s no covers on offer, unlike on “Graham Bonnet” – some heavy guests add their touch to the ex-MARBLES’ warbler’s songs, including Phillip Goodhand-Tait and Rick Wakeman. Surely not a thing to miss on… and we may only guess what treasures the other archive volumes keep. As for this one, its tracks are:
