The Greatest Hits (Babybird album)

The Greatest Hits is a compilation album self-released by Babybird (aka Stephen Jones) in 1997.

It consists of 20 songs, chosen by a vote of British consumers, each taken from one of Babybird's five previous indie albums.

Atlantic's goal in marketing the album was to introduce Americans to Jones' numerous songs, none of which had previously been widely available in the United States.

[1] As AllMusic put it, "Of course, the title is ironic -- irony is one of Stephen Jones/Baby Bird's fortes.

It's ironic because the double-disc Greatest Hits doesn't contain "You're Gorgeous," the number two U.K. single that established his career.
