Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1982 album from the brilliant British singer/songwriter. Produced by 10cc s Graham Gouldman, Gilbert s seventh album is characterized by witty and inventive production and heartfelt songs. The early 1980s was a hectic time for Gilbert O Sullivan. The writer, whose songs in the 70s had sometimes expressed a temperate skepticism about marriage, married his long-term girlfriend Aase in a January 1980 ceremony most of his friends and family knew nothing about. In the background was Gilbert s on-going legal fight for a promised interest in his songs from former manager Gordon Mills which was heading to the law courts. Recorded against a backdrop of personal upheaval and legal wrangling, Life & Rhymes is one of O Sullivan s most revealing and intimate statements. This remastered version boasts two non-album bonus tracks. Salvo.
