The Ultimate Gary Glitter

Perhaps one of my luckiest finds in a while was a used copy The Ultimate Gary Glitter at FYE for $5. This 2-disc set is a very good retrospective of Glitter's singles output. Glitter is one of those artist's whose personal life has unfortunately come to overshadow his musical output, but fans of glammy music do themselves a disservice if they allow this to happen. Included in this package are 28 of Glitter's singles as well as four of The Glitter Band's hits. These four tracks are quite strong, which caused me to add their The Bell Singles Collection to my wish list. Anyhow, highlights of this set include "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)," "I Love You Love Me Love," "Let's Get Together Again" (a Glitter Band track), "Doing Alright with the Boys," "Always Yours," "You Belong to Me," and "Goodbye My Love" (also by The Glitter Band).

Fans of Gary Glitter will find this package a great career overview, while those who only know a few of his songs will delight in the overall Glitter experience.
