Glory Road came, as illustrated above, 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, both Egg Timer (Vice Versa) and Harry Lime Theme failed to make it to CD
