- Himself is the debut album by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan, released in the United Kingdom by MAM Records in August 1971, following the top 10 success of its single "Nothing Rhymed". O'Sullivan originally intended the album to feature only his voice and piano playing, until his manager and the album's producer Gordon Mills persuaded him to use full instrumentation and arrangements by Johnnie Spence. Mills also aided O'Sullivan with his songwriting, which incorporates an observational style and word play, the usage of the latter being influenced by Spike Milligan. Upon release, Himself was a commercial success in the UK, reaching number 5 on the UK Albums Chart. It received a warm reception from critics, and O'Sullivan became noted for his satirical lyrics and eye-catching, atypical dress style, which included a cloth cap and short trousers. The album was released with a revised track list in the United States in 1972, this time boasting the hit single "Alone Again (Naturally)". It reached number 9 on the US Billboard 200. A remastered edition of the original version of Himself was released by the Salvo label in 2011 as part of the Gilbert O'Sullivan - A Singer & His Songs collection. (en)

- "Five years ago, when it was Beatlemania and all the rest of it, you'd never be able to make an album with all your own songs. In those days, if it didn't have that hook chorus and it wasn't going to be a Top Ten hit, forget it. Now people get the opportunity to do their own albums and that's a very good thing." (en)
