Alternate Learning (aka ALRN)
Very rare, first release/recordings by Game Theory's Scott Miller
Vinyl and labels are in excellent condition, holding the record under a light
there is a very light, barely noticeable scuff mark, likely from the paper sleeve. Has 8 kind of abstract art, paper inserts. One of them has a stain on it and evidence of an
attempt to remove the stain, and another that has a small crease (see last two pics).
All other inserts are in excellent condition. The sleeve folds open sort of like a puzzle.
Also included is an insert with track by track info, credits and comments.
Reportedly these were hand assembled by Scott Miller, Jozef Becker and Scott Gallawa.
An extremely rare & cool Scott Miller/Game Theory/Loud Family related collectible.
Hard to find and hardly ever seen in this terrific overall condition.

Alternate Learning, which was Scott Miller's first band to record on independent recording label
Rational Records, was initially formed while its original members were in high school.
Miller, Jozef Becker, and Scott Gallawa began performing at Rio Americano High School under
the name Alternate Learning as early as 1977. The group's self-titled first release, a four-song 7" EP,
was recorded by the three original members in Sacramento, in Miller's home recording studio.
The EP was independently released on Rational Records in 1979. The band and the Alternate Learning EP
both became known by the abbreviation ALRN. In 1978, Miller moved the band to Davis, California,
where he was attending college. Bass player Carolyn O'Rourke and keyboard player Lynn Ross joined
the Davis-based band, which became regionally well known for their performances in the Sacramento area,
in San Francisco, and most frequently at U.C. Davis. In 1980, Lynn Ross, Scott Gallawa and Jozef Becker left the group. Gallawa and Becker formed the Les-Z-Boys with Guy Kyser; Becker and Kyser went on to become
founding members of Thin White Rope. Becker, who was also a member of True West, rejoined Miller
as a member of Game Theory from 1989 to 1990, and later was a member of Miller's '90s group The Loud Family.
