Glittering Prize-Best Of

Out of print in the U.S.! 1992 collection from the Scottish New Wave veterans. Picking up where the band's previous hits compilation, 1982's Themes for Great Cities left off, Glittering Prize compacts five albums into 16 tracks. Because they were bigger critical and commercial successes, 1982's New Gold Dream, 1984's Sparkle in the Rain and 1985's Once Upon a Time are better represented than 1989's Street Fighting Years and 1991's Real Life. The mid-'80s tracks, particularly 'Don't You (Forget About Me)', 'Up on the Catwalk', "Promised You a Miracle' and 'Someone Somewhere in Summertime' remain classics to this day. EMI.
