10 Frequently Asked Questions

About Tour:
Q1. Isn't there any plan to do a gig in my town/country?
<Answer> We do understand your want. All CONFIRMED plans and dates will be posted on the Tours page of this website. So please check the Tours page regularly or subscribe to the mail-o-graham list via the Updates page. I'm afraid we cannot answer to a question about any tour date that is not on the Tours page yet.

About Early Stuff:
Q2. Where can I buy a copy of Graham's early materials like "Warm Ride" or "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"?
<Answer> We are sorry that we do not have information about record retailers in your country. Graham's early materials prior to Rainbow are all out of print, so you will need to check your local second hand record stores or online sites such as www.gemm.com or www.netsounds.com. You might also be able to find one at www.eBay.com if you are lucky.

Q3. Is there any CD that contains "Warm Ride" and "Baby Blue"? If there is, what is the title of the CD?
<Answer> Yes, the CD titled "Graham Bonnet -The Rock Singer's Anthology" contained both "Warm Ride" and "Baby Blue". It was released in 1990 from Vertigo/Phonogram in Australia (Cat. # 840 974-2) and Japan (Cat. # PHCR-2087). Also Japanese compilation CD "Line Up + Graham Bonnet" released in 1987 from Vertigo (Cat. # 33PD-364) contained "Baby Blue".  However, these CDs have never been re-issued, so they have been out of print, rare collector's items for years. Check used CD shops regularly to find them.
For the latest live version of "Baby Blue", check "Countdown Spectacular 2" CD released in 2007 from ABC music in Australia. The CD contains 3 disks and "Baby Blue" is on disk 1. There is also DVD (PAL/Region 4 Only) version of the concert.

Q4. Has Graham's first or second solo album ever been released on CD?
<Answer>  Graham's first solo album "Graham Bonnet", together with "Line Up", was released as one compilation CD in 1987 only in Japan, which has been one of the rare collectors' items for years. However, the second solo album "No Bad Habits" has never been officially released on CD in any territory in the past.
