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. The band's name, anecdotally, comes from the marking on the studio mixing console that indicates the 'guitar' volume control. Downes, who like Howe had been a member of Yes and Asia, produced the album. The group, founded by Hackett and Howe, disbanded in 1987. (It has no connection with the similarly titled "Hackett to Pieces" from Highly Strung.) Asia recorded their own version of the Geoff Downes-penned "The Hunter" for their 1997 compilation album Anthology. Steve Hackett's "Hackett to Bits" was a simplified version of the title track from his Please Don't Touch album. It resurfaced on his solo album Motif Volume 1 and again on his Anthology album. An instrumental piece recorded by GTR guitarist Steve Howe years before, "Sketches in the Sun", was included on the album due to a shortage of content. Another single, "The Hunter", peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart, and the single "When the Heart Rules the Mind" reached No. GTR is the only album from the short-lived supergroup GTR, released in 1986.
