Greatest Hits

Gilbert O’Sullivan’s MAM Records compilation distills the Irish singer-songwriter’s baroque pop mastery into essential cuts. From the melancholic piano balladry of “Alone Again (Naturally)” to the orchestral arrangements that defined his 1970s commercial peak, this collection captures O’Sullivan’s gift for intricate melodicism and wry lyrical observation. A defining artifact of sophisticated pop songwriting before the genre fragmented into countless micro-styles.
