The LP keeps the original twelve-song running order across two sides. A download card carries the thirteen bonus tracks from the expanded reissue, ten of them previously unissued: the session outtake \"Faithless,\" a studio cover of Queen's \"Lily of the Valley,\" and a run of live recordings from the Real Nighttime tour, Gerry Rafferty's \"Baker Street\" among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package adds rare photographs, an interview with Mitch Easter and reissue co-producer Pat Thomas, notes from Byron Coley, and a remembrance from Carl Newman of The New Pornographers. Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen handled the mastering, and Kevin Gray cut the lacquers. The video above is Omnivore's trailer for the reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGame Theory's second full-length album first came out in 1985 on Enigma. It was the band's first record with Mitch Easter as producer, a partnership that carried through the rest of their 1980s catalog. Sessions ran from July 22 to 31, 1984, and the album was mixed that August at the Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Miller wrote the songs and sang and played guitar, with Nancy Becker on keyboards, Fred Juhos on bass and Dave Gill on drums. Michael Quercio of The Three O'Clock sang backing vocals, and Jozef Becker, who joined the band years later, added percussion. Side B includes a cover of Alex Chilton's \"You Can't Have Me.\" Miller's back-cover notes were written in the style of James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e, and in January 1990 Spin named the album among its \"80 Excellent Records of the 80s.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere Comes Everybody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaltz the Halls Always\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Mean It This Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriend of the Family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf and When It Falls Apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col start=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurse of the Frontier Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRayon Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe'll Be a Verb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal Nighttime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can't Have Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Turned Her Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 816651016822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.17.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omnivore Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500900941982,"sku":"EVP-45BCF260-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Game-Theory-Real-Nighttime-OV-115.jpg?v=1791877902","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/game-theory-real-nighttime-red-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
