It's magnificent. Most tunes are killer - it featured Graham's best ever ballad I'm a Lover along with superb cover stuff like Set me Free (best Kinks cover ever), That's the way that it is (much better then Uriah Heep version) and Be my baby. Plus some cool originals. Classic Purple family record if you ask me. GB's in the great vocal shape and Cozy's work is impressive as well. One of the best Bonnet's records ever and luckily reissued now in remastered form so you don't have to pay big $ for out of print japanese CD (which I of course have! ) An absolute must for any Bonnet's fan.nondisclosed_email@example.com (REAL JOHNMCCOY)Sat, 03 Jul 2004 23:17:53 +0000 Re: Graham Bonnet's "Line Up" albumhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44434,from=rss#post44434https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44434,from=rss#post44434A compilation would be most welcome! I might add the tracks "Rock you to the ground" and "Mercy", problem is I dont know what I would remove from Roy's original list to make room. Its a shame he doesn't get back with Vai or Malmsteen and make another Alcatrazz album. Jake67, now that you mention them, I remember cringing at the horns. I second your Ugh and will even add an "F" to the front, Fugh the horns! nondisclosed_email@example.com (ByTor)Mon, 31 May 2004 22:46:32 +0000 Re: Graham Bonnet's "Line Up" albumhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44433,from=rss#post44433https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44433,from=rss#post44433> The worst I ever heard from Bonnet was one called Forcefeild-Return to Oz. I saw it in a shop, and it had Cozy and Jan Ackerman playing on it, so I had to have it. What a dissapointment. I have all the Forcefield albums and the two with Graham are the worst of the batch. (The other one is called Let The Wild Run Free.) Both have some ok songs, but someone made the not-so-brilliant move to add horns to a number of the tracks. Ugh! To get slightly off-track, the second Forcefield album features Tony Martin. It was the first time I ever heard Tony and I instantly became of fan and started searching out the Sabbath stuff. As for my Graham compilation, I'd want Jet To Jet on there. I like Lost In Hollywood, too, but more for Blackmore's playing than Graham's singing.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Jake67)Mon, 31 May 2004 18:45:24 +0000 Re: Graham Bonnet's "Line Up" albumhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44432,from=rss#post44432https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44432,from=rss#post44432Room for a killer Bonnet compilation CD methinks-suggests for tracks anyone? off the top of my head, what about...

I love Assualt Attack. I would rank Bonnet albums as follows: 1.Assualt Attack 2.Down to Earth 3.Disturbing the Peace 4.No Parole for Rock n Roll #1 and #2 are sometime interchangeable depending on my mood.

All comments welcome! I also bought it just after release. It's been so long since I've heard it. The guest players were just that. Just to get interest in the lp. JL,MM or CP don't really shine or push the lp. It's a good pop album. Just what you would expect to hear from a singer where the emphasis is on the vocal and any studio musicians could have played the background. The only tune that has ever stuck in my mind from it is Night Games, which is the highlight.  His work with Alcatrazz was much heavier.  Line Up is enjoyable, but nothing to write home about. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Ritchies Strat)Tue, 25 May 2004 13:42:51 +0000 Re: Graham Bonnet's "Line Up" albumhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44426,from=rss#post44426https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p44426,from=rss#post44426I bought this album when it was released all those years ago but can't remember much about it really.
