I remember them. That was about the time I started learning the guitar. I think I owned that on CD back then. They were inspiring to a newbie like me.
There are a couple of CDs under $20 on Amazon.

Maybe just because it reminds me of that particular time and place.
The album also contained more interesting prog guitar stuff like "Hackett to Bits".
I had the album on cassette back in the day (I believe I was a senior in high school). I've been searching high and low, but I can't find it on CD for anything less than a king's ransom. I was hoping Amazon would have it in their MP3 music store, but no luck.

While I'm a Steve Hackett fan, I never heard the entire album. I do remember reading a review of the album that reeked of Spinal Tap. It read, "GTR: SHT".
Harsh.
That wouldn't surprise me. The album is a little too slick and poppy for people who were expecting Hackett/Howe prog rock.Originally Posted by Pickngrin
