Gillan - Glory Road + Bonus LP [Vinyl Rip] (2LP Limited Edition) (1980)

Year: 8 August 1980 (LP 1980)
Label: Virgin Records (UK), V 2171, VDJ 32
Style: Hard Rock
Country: London, England (19 August 1945)
Time: 43:32, 49:25
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 268, 251 Mb

The US version of the album had a slightly different running order and included "Your Mother Was Right" instead of "Sleeping on the Job". The song "Unchain Your Brain" was re-recorded and released on Ian Gillan's 2006 release Gillan's Inn.
Glory Road was also released in the UK as a limited edition double LP and contained the free LP For Gillan Fans Only. When Glory Road was eventually released on CD, most of the For Gillan Fans Only material was included as bonus tracks. However, "Higher and Higher", "Egg Timer" (a spoof of Samson's "Vice Versa" from the Head On album) and "Harry Lime Theme" failed to make it to CD until the 2CD 2007 Edsel Records remaster, which contains both the album and the whole of For Gillan Fans Only. This latter release also has retrospective comments by Ian Gillan and the original artwork, plus pictures of various single covers. A different version of "Trying to Get to You" can be heard on Ian Gillan's album Cherkazoo and Other Stories.
