Touch Me is the second studio album by the English glam rock singer Gary Glitter. It was originally released in June 1973, on the label Bell, and was produced by Mike Leander. It is Glitter's bestselling album, peaking at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. It features the top-5 hits "Do You Wanna Touch Me" and "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again".
In 1995, the album was reissued in Australia on CD, with the track listing reversing sides one and two from the original album, and adding four bonus tracks: "I'll Carry Your Picture Everywhere", "Oh Yes! You're Beautiful", "I Would If I Could but I Can't" and "I'm Right, You're Wrong, I Win!".
In 1996, the album was reissued as a picture disc in the UK, limited to 5,000 copies and containing the 12 tracks from the original album plus the four bonus tracks "Oh Yes! You're Beautiful", "I Would If I Could but I Can't", "I'm Right, You're Wrong, I Win!" and "I'll Carry Your Picture Everywhere".
2009 reissue The album was reissued in 2009 under Airmail Records. This time it contained the 12 tracks from the original album and four bonus tracks: "Oh Yes! You're Beautiful", "I Would If I Could but I Can't", "I'm Right, You're Wrong, I Win!" and "Thank You Baby for Myself".
Critical reception Donald A. Guarisco of AllMusic gave the album two and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Touch Me lacks the strength or variety that would allow it to appeal to anyone beyond glam rock's cult audience but it contains enough solid songs to appeal to lovers of glam."
