The Ultimate Gary Glitter

The Ultimate Gary Glitter – 25 Years of Hits is a greatest hits album by the English glam rock singer Gary Glitter. It was originally released in the United Kingdom on 24 November 1997 on the label Snapper Music, less than a week after his arrest for having child pornography on his computer. This is the only compilation album that Gary Glitter ever released, this is because he would be convicted for possession of child pornography in 1999. The two-disc set contains 32 tracks in total, 16 tracks on each disc. 27 of the tracks are Gary Glitter songs spanning from 1972 through to 1984, while four of the tracks are singles from 1974–1975 by his backing band, The Glitter Band, without him. The one other track on the set is a song called "Rock Hard Men", which was recorded in April 1997 from a then upcoming 1998 Gary Glitter album called Lost on Life Street. This 1997 version of "Rock Hard Men" is a different mix of the song to the 1996 version that appeared as a B-side on Gary Glitter's "House of the Rising Sun" single.
