Gilbert O'Sullivan - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Sight and Sound, Golders Green Hippodrome, London, Britain, 1-28-1978

Posted by on
This is the third and last album I have of singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan performing for the BBC. Like Volume 2, it's a short concert.

Gilbert O'Sullivan had a lot of hit songs and popular albums from 1970 to 1975. After that, his popularity dropped considerably. He did have one last hit single in 1980 with "What's in a Kiss?" But at the time of this concert, his popularity was at an all-time low for him. His most recent album, "Southpaw," released in late 1977, didn't even make the album charts anywhere. New musical styles like disco, punk, and new wave were all the rage. It didn't help that he was having trouble with his record company. He discovered they were ripping him off. After years of legal trouble, in 1978, he won about 45 million dollars (adjusted to its 2025 value). But presumably the record company retaliated by failing to promote him. He later said the legal battle effectively put his music career on hold for years. 

So kudos to the BBC for giving him this prominent platform in 1978 anyway. "Sight and Sound" was a BBC TV show (thus the "sight" as well as the "sound"). It showed O'Sullivan rocking more than in the past, and still a very capable songwriter and performer.

I don't think this has been shared as an audio bootleg before. I found a video of the concert on YouTube, converted it to audio, and broke it into mp3s. Despite that, the sound quality is excellent.

This album is 35 minutes long.
