"Glittering Prize" is a compilation album by Simple Minds, released in 1992. It spans the period from "Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call" (the first album recorded by Simple Minds for Virgin Records) to "Real Life". At the time of its release, the album was promoted by the double A-side single "Love Song/Alive and Kicking", where "Love Song" appeared in a remixed form. Both "Love Song" (from 1981) and "Alive and Kicking" (from 1985) appear in their original 7-inch edits on the album. The album omits the earliest period of Simple Minds' recording career, which yielded three albums released on Arista (only reissues are on Virgin). The namesake video collection, featuring promo videos from then latest two albums and live versions of the hits was released simultaneously.
