GTR supergroup GTR , released in 1986. The album peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200Billboard Hot 100Steve Howe years before, "Sketches in the Sun", was included on the album due to a shortage of content. It resurfaced on his solo album Motif Volume 1 and again on his Anthology album. Steve Hackett 's "Hackett to Bits" was a simplified version of the title track from his Please Don't Touch Highly Strung Asia recorded their own version of the Geoff Downes -penned "The Hunter" for their 1997 compilation album Anthology
The group, founded by Hackett and Howe, disbanded in 1987. Downes, who like Howe had been a member of Yes and Asia , produced the album.
The band's name, anecdotally, comes from the marking on the studio mixing console that indicates the 'guitar' volume control.
The album was reissued in 2001 as a remastered CD and again in 2006 as a Japanese mini-LP CD, but otherwise remained out of print until a deluxe 2-CD version was released in 2015.[2]
Reception [ edit ]
Paul Stump, in his History of Progressive Rock , said the album "managed to make two of the most distinctive guitarists in rock sound like autopiloted sessioneers at a Foreigner recording."[6]
