Little River Band
When Little River Band formed in 1975, Australia immediately took notice. The key bandmembers were already well known to Australians. Lead singer Glenn Shorrock had made his name in mid-'60s group the Twilights, a Beatles-sounding pop group that scored a national number one record with its version of the Velvelettes' "Needle in a Haystack." When the group broke up in 1969, Shorrock became lead singer of Axiom, whose "A Little Ray of Sunshine" is still an Australian classic rock staple. LRB's Beeb Birtles had been the bass player for a popular Twilights-era pop group called Zoot (Rick Springfield was a later member). When that group broke up, in search of musical credibility, Birtles auditioned as the bass player, but was instantly elevated to a front-line position alongside Graham Goble. Even LRB's manager was well-known. Glenn Wheatley had been the bassist with another of Australia's bands, and possibly its most legendary, the Masters Apprentices. Given all that background, when Shorrock and Birtles revealed they were forming a group with Goble, managed by Wheatley, it was major event in Australian music.

Hi OG
I'm sure you're aware the group lineup is no longer Australian but now American.
I had a word recently with the guy (longtime member) currently leading the band.
I'm really happy they still put this music out there tho it's just not the same.
Thank you for all the memories and this collection from a great Australian band!
Hi Ozzieguy. Thanks for all the great music!
I see there's one Little River Band CD you didn't post. It's the "Backstage pass" double CD.
I bought this in Europe a long time ago and when I got home, I found out CD2 was missing.
Any chance you have this? Thanks again!
