Little River Band (Official Thread)

[Rockperson]

Any fans of this really great band?

They released five albums in the seventies......

S/T
After Hours
Diamantina Cocktail
Sleeper Catcher
First Under The Wire

Glen Shorrock was the lead vocalist and he would later in the early 80`s be replaced by the legendary John Farnham.

They were once described by Glen Frey of the Eagles as the best singing band, best harmony band in the world.

Little River Band - 1980`s

After the great albums of the 70`s, they released Time Exposure with that being the last album with vocalist Glen Shorrock before being replaced by John Farnham. Shorrock came back four albums later to record Monsoon.

The 80`s albums were......

Time Exposure
The Net
Playing To Win
No Reins
Monsoon.

Nowadays they are touring with just Wayne Nelson from the early 80`s line up and none of the main three of Glen Shorrock, Beeb Birtles and Graham Goble.

I never really got into Little River Band that much, but I do remember the song "Cool Change" getting quite a bit of local radio time. Cool Change was also the theme song for my Senior Class

Great song, I ordered Diamantina Cocktail on cd this weekend just gone, I`m still looking for After Hours for a cheap price.

Re: Little River Band - 1970`s

There are two different versions of Diamantina Cocktail Rockperson, the US release and the Original Australian release which is different. I prefer the Aussie version myself, owned that one on vinyl and picked up the CD(which was hard to find) about a year ago.

LRB is in my top 10 Australian bands of all time.

Mine is the US release but if I get After Hours then that should cover all bases.

They are my favourite Aussie band and one of my all time favourite groups.
