• Glittering Prize 81/92 was Simple Minds' second, and final, commercial video.

• It accompanied the compilation album of the same name and collected together some of the band's promotional and live performances from the period covered.

• Unfortunately many of the videos were edited and only a few of the songs appeared in full.

• The chronological ordering of tracks were threaded together by quotes and interview footage taken from the BBC's Def II documentary about the band and the Real Life EPK. Quotes were also dubbed over the songs themselves, so few performances remained uninterrupted.

• A 12 page colour booklet was included with the video. Amongst many pages of graphics were limited information about each of the tracks, a videography, album discography and credits.
