In the midst of exploring the budding Paisley Underground scene, the heads of Lolita looked north to Davis and found Game Theory. The label loved the band and made a deal to release an album combining tracks from the band?s first two EPs (\u003cem\u003ePointed Accounts Of People You Know\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDistortion\u003c\/em\u003e), introducing the band to Europe. The result of this alliance was \u003cem\u003eDead Center\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to original recordings from the EPs, the CD also features two songs recorded specifically for the original Dead Center LP, a unique version of the song ?Dead Center? (the original flexi disc recording is also included) and a cover of ?The Letter,? Alex Chilton?s bona fide #1 Record from his pre-Big Star teen years fronting The Box Tops. Both songs appear here on CD for the first time. Add to these 10 rare unreleased recordings including covers of Badfinger?s ?No Matter What,? Roxy Music?s ?Mother of Pearl,? R.E.M.?s ?Radio Free Europe,? Them?s ?Gloria,? live versions of Game Theory classics like ?Penny, Things Won?t,? ?Shark Pretty? and more, making \u003cem\u003eDead Center\u003c\/em\u003e an essential piece of the Game Theory puzzle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDead Center\u003c\/em\u003e CD is housed in a digipak with a 20 page booklet featuring rare photos, liner notes from set co-producer Dan Vallor as well as a remembrance from the Three O?Clock?s Michael Quercio, a dear friend of Game Theory?s Scott Miller and producer of the band?s breakthrough EP \u003cem\u003eDistortion\u003c\/em\u003e. Michael would himself eventually become a member of Game Theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDead Center\u003c\/em\u003e has been out of print for three decades.
