Game Theory - The Big Shot Chronicles: 30th Anniversary [Ltd Ed Translucent Lime-Green Vinyl]

30th Anniversary reissue of their revered 3rd album!

Omnivore Recordings continues the re-examination and re-appreciation of Game Theory’s stellar 1980s catalog with The Big Shot Chronicles. Passionate fans of the group all have a favorite GT album, and the band’s drummer, Gil Ray, refers to The Big Shot Chronicles as his favorite in a revealing interview with set co-producer and Game Theory constant/confidant Dan Vallor in the new reissue’s liner notes.

Once again helmed by Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Let’s Active), the 12-track album features an expansion of the band’s sound, and contains the MTV 120 Minutes staple, “Erica’s Word.” 

The LP edition (first pressing on lime-green vinyl) has the original 12-track LP. 

The Chicago Reader said the album was “ambitious and elaborate… packed with sunny, ultracatchy melodies, sweet vocal harmonies, and soft-focus psychedelia.” So, take your first shot, or prepare for a bigger shot of The Big Shot Chronicles.
