Southpaw is the fifth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan, originally released in November 1977.[1] This was the first album produced by Gilbert O'Sullivan. Union Square Music re-released it in June 2012 on Salvo label in part of the Gilbert O'Sullivan - A Singer & His Songs collection.
This was the first of O'Sullivan's albums not to contain a UK top 40 single. However, "I'll Believe It When I See It" and "To Each His Own" (not included on the original album) did chart in the Irish top 20.
Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote: "O'Sullivan is still writing his cloying little songs that start infectiously and end infectiously. In between is zero, or less than."[2]
