Band has blasted the upcoming reissue of the band's ninth album, "Alive And Well", calling it "unauthorized" and "illegal", and has urged the group's fans not to buy it.

Last month, Cleopatra Records announced that it would reissue "Alive And Well" as a deluxe 2CD set and a 2LP vinyl package on June 17. The 1999 album remains an important cornerstone in the band's history as it reunited the classic lineup of singer Kevin DuBrow, guitarist Carlos Cavazo, bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Frankie Banali, the same quartet which coalesced during the recording of the blockbuster multi-platinum-selling "Metal Health" album and went on to record much-lauded follow-up, 1984's "Condition Critical"

Please do NOT purchase the unauthorized illegal “reissue” of one of our past albums from the 90’s that a record company is attempting to release tomorrow. They are in breach of contract. The contract Quiet Riot signed with them prohibits reissues, repackaging and rereleasing. This is fraudulent and we are taking legal steps to shut this down. Please don’t send money anywhere to purchase this thinking this is a legitimate product. We really appreciate our fans so much and hope none of you will buy this. Thank you. Please don’t post links to it in the comments.
