GTR is the 1986 self-titled debut album and sole official studio release from the short-lived supergroup GTR. The album peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart, and the single "When the Heart Rules the Mind" reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 single chart. Another single, "The Hunter," peaked at No. 85.
The group, founded by ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett and then ex-Yes and ex-Asia guitarist Steve Howe, disbanded in 1987.
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 is currently out of print, with the exception of a Japanese mini-LP CD released in 2006.
