"Gary Gilmore's Eyes" is a single by the punk rock[1] band the Adverts. The song reached No. 18 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1977 and earned the band an appearance on Top of the Pops.[2]
It was originally intended to be included on the band's debut album, Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts, but was dropped at the last minute. It has been included in most subsequent reissues of the album however.[3]
