GTR (album) (It had no connection with the similarly titled "Hackett to Pieces" from "Highly Strung".) Asia later recorded their own version of the Downes-penned "The Hunter" for their 1997 compilation album "Anthology". The group, founded by ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett and then ex-Yes and ex-Asia guitarist Steve Howe, disbanded in 1987. Geoff Downes, another ex-Yes and ex-Asia member at the time, 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 in a remastered CD edition. The album was out of print, with
Steve Howe (musician) but the label went out of business shortly before its release. The label had also promised the group film roles and visits to the US but they never materialised and they disbanded. Howe released the tracks for the proposed album after he obtained the recordings and remixed them himself as "The Bodast Tapes" (1981). He then played with members of the progressive rock band The Nice as a potential new member, but decided it was not for him, and left the next day. In April 1970, the rock band Yes sought a new guitarist following the departure of Peter Banks.
