Road Games is an EP by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1983 through Warner Bros. Records on vinyl only; a CD edition was reissued through Gnarly Geezer Records in 2001, although to this day Holdsworth claims to have received no royalties from either release.[2] This is one of his least favourite recordings, due to numerous creative differences with executive producer Ted Templeman.[3] The album was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1984 for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.[4][5]
