Pricey but complete

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the early 70's, Gilbert O'Sullivan was touted as the heir apparent to Paul McCartney, believe it or not. Of course, time has proven that prophesy wrong, but O'Sullivan was genuinely talented and wrote some amazingly good songs. His mega-hit, Alone Again, Naturally probably doomed his career because of the suicidal and melancholy lyrics, but the song has aged well and is as fresh as it was 30 years ago. My favorites on this compilation are the irreverent and wonderful Matrimony, Claire (a marvelous, quirky ballad) and the idiotically-titled but fabulous Ohh-Wakka-Doo-Wakka-Day. I defy anyone to listen to these songs and not have a glorious smile on your face.I was in elementary school when O'Sullivan was at his apex and listening to these songs brings back great memories of being a kid and hearing him sing on the radio. If you're in your mid-30's you will remember him as well and probably enjoy this collection of his best work. It's a pity he never went on to enjoy a full-fledged or lengthy career, but he epitomizes the insipid, banal lyrical style of the 70's... but it's still fun. This is an extremely pricey set, but if you want all the songs O'Sullivan recorded, then it's worth the cost."
