GTR was formed in 1985 following guitarist Steve Howe\u2019s departure from ASIA. Teaming up with the equally legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, GTR was assembled with the addition of vocalist Max Bacon, bassist Phil Spalding and drummer Jonathan Mover.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s sole album was produced by Geoff Downes and was issued in July 1986 and was a US Top 20 hit album and also was a UK Top 50 hit. Two singles drawn from the record (\u2018When the Heart Rules the Mind\u2019 &amp; \u2018The Hunter\u2019) were also hits in the USA. Although a short lived group, GTR also toured to promote the album (with the addition of Matt Clifford on keyboards) performing material from the album, as well as songs such as \u2018Roundabout\u2019 and \u2018I Know What I Like (in Your Wardrobe)\u2019, made famous by YES and GENESIS respectively. Although GTR ceased to exist as a band in 1987, the group\u2019s sole album is an important moment in rock music of the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered and is presented here with the addition of a bonus 14-track CD of GTR live in Los Angeles in July 1986. There are also three bonus tracks taken from promotional 12-inch singles of \u2018When the Heart Rules the Mind\u2019 &amp; \u2018The Hunter\u2019, two of which appear on CD for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>This expanded deluxe edition of &#8220;GTR\u201d also includes a booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay.<\/p>\n<p>DISC ONE: GTR: REMASTERED\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHEN THE HEART RULES THE MIND<br \/>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE HUNTER<br \/>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HERE I WAIT<br \/>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SKETCHES IN THE SUN<br \/>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JEKYLL AND HYDE<br \/>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 YOU CAN STILL GET THROUGH<br \/>7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 REACH OUT (NEVER SAY NO)<br \/>8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TOE THE LINE<br \/>9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HACKETT TO BITS<br \/>10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IMAGINING\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>BONUS TRACKS<\/p>\n<p>11.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE HUNTER (SPECIAL GTR MIX)<br \/>12.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHEN THE HEART RULES THE MIND (SINGLE VERSION)<br \/>13.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE HUNTER (SINGLE VERSION)<\/p>\n<p>DISC TWO: GTR: LIVE IN LOS ANGELES IN JULY 1986<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JEKYLL AND HYDE<br \/>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HERE I WAIT<br \/>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PRIZEFIGHTERS<br \/>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IMAGINING<br \/>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HACKETT TO BITS<br \/>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SPECTRAL MORNINGS<br \/>7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I KNOW WHAT I LIKE (IN YOUR WARDROBE)<br \/>8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SKETCHES IN THE SUN<br \/>9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PENNANTS<br \/>10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROUNDABOUT<br \/>11.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE HUNTER<br \/>12.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 YOU CAN STILL GET THROUGH<br \/>13.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 REACH OUT (NEVER SAY NO)<br \/>14.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHEN THE HEART RULES THE MIND<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW DELUXE AND EXPANDED 2 CD DIGIPACK EDITION OF THE 1986 ALBUM BY STEVE HACKETT &amp; STEVE HOWE\u2019S BAND GTR<br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WITH BONUS 14-TRACK CD OF GTR LIVE IN LOS ANGELES IN JULY 1986 &amp; THREE BONUS TRACKS TAKEN FROM RARE SINGLES &amp; EPs<br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEWLY REMASTERED<br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK AND ESSAY WITH NEW LINER NOTES<\/p>\n<p>Source: Esoteric Recordings<br \/>Image credit: Creative Content<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the official release of a 2 disc deluxe edition&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5529\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
