additional information
This promotional cassette of the album is now extremely rare. It includes the text "Pre-release cassette. For promotional use only" along the base.


Some copies were also distributed with custom typed sleeves. These gave extra information including some promotional text (which featured a few errors):

Glittering Prize is a snapshot in time, chronicling a decade in which Simple Minds built their musical reputation.

Simple Minds broke in America with the #1 smash hit Don't You (Forget About Me) on Once Upon A Time. Once Upon A Time, platinum in the States, netted the band three Top 5 AOR tracks and another CHR hit Alive And Kicking. In 1991, Simple Minds released Real Life, which included Let There Be Love, See The Lights and Stand By Love. Glittering Prize includes all these tracks plus Promised You A Miracle, Sanctify Yourself, Belfast Child and others.


Many thanks to Erwin for details of the sleeve.
