Glory Road (album)

Glory Road is the third album by the British rock band Gillan, released in October 1980. The album reached #3 in the UK album charts.

Track summary

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 original UK album came with a free album called For Gillan Fans Only. "Unchain Your Brain" has been re-recorded, and released on Ian Gillan's 2006 release Gillan's Inn. A different version of "Trying to Get to You" can be heard on Gillan's album Cherkazoo and Other Stories.

Glory Road came 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 (Vice Versa)" and "Harry Lime Theme" failed to make it to CD until the 2CD 2007 Edsel 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 picture-sleeves..
