Europe : Prisoners in Paradise


I NEVER DREAMED

THAT I COULD FALL

BUT SOMETHING'S 

COME OVER ME

NOW I'M SITTIN'

STARIN' AT THE WALL

AFRAID FOR MY SANITY


 Prisoners in Paradise

 is the fifth 

studio album

 by the 

Swedish rock band

 Europe

 It was released on 

 September,23rd 1991 

by Epic Records

 and spawned hits

 such as the title track,

 "Prisoners in Paradise" 

and

 "I'll Cry for You". 

The album did not chart

 in the US, 

which is unusual 

for a major label 

follow-up to 

two recent

 (multi)platinum albums. 

Prisoners in Paradise

 is the last album 

to feature guitarist 

Kee Marcello.

The band's guitarist

 Kee Marcello 

states in his

 2011 biography that

 Bob Rock 

was the first choice

 for producer

 for this album, 

and agreed initially

 but pulled out

 to work on

 Metallica's eponymous

 album instead.

 The large number of

 finished bonus tracks

 is also explained

 in this book: 

the first version of this album, 

called

 "Seventh Sign" 

was rejected by the label 

in 1990 

and the band 

had to write

 and record new songs.

 Five more tracks

 were demoed 

in addition to 

the 25 listed below;

 two of them 

were rewritten 

and became

 "New Love in Town"

 on 

Last Look at Eden

 and 

"Bring it All Home" 

on

 Bag of Bones.

 Most of the 

unreleased songs


 can be found 

on YouTube as 

demo recordings.

 Two of the 

previously unreleased tracks,

 "Wild Child"

 and 

"Don't Know How to Love No More"

 were re-recorded for 

Kee Marcello's

 2016 solo album

 "Scaling Up" 

on Frontiers Records
