Road Games is an EP (or, according to its vinyl sleeve, a "specially-priced 6-cut mini album") by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1983 through Warner Bros. Records originally 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] He has also named it as one of his least favourite recordings, due to numerous creative differences with executive producer Ted Templeman.[3] It nonetheless received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1984 Grammy Awards.[4][5]
