Gilbert's Gems

"Yes, some of these rarities are hidden gems and hard-to-find novelties from the mind of Gilbert, the Genius, O'Sullivan. However, if you are looking for a great Gilbert CD, this is not it. If you are only a casual fan, get the hits compilation that is available at a fair price with all of his major hits. This CD is for the O'Sullivan completist only!! This CD could have been much better if only more rarities would have been included such as "Save It' (the B-side to "Alone Again, Naturally") and other flip sides that are difficult to find on CD."

"I gave this album 3 stars only because the first 5 or 6 tracks merited it.The remaining songs unfortunately are almost like space fillers. They could be just anyone'
s compositions.Had GOS remained in his cooperation with Gordon Mills, would things have been different? It is also an amazing fact that while all the oldies stations constantly play the same 30 or 50 songs on and on and on each day, they can not find one GOS song to reminisce the early seventies...!"
