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
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
