О группе:"Little river band" были сформированы в 1975 году в Австралии. К тому времени ее участники уже были известны у себя на родине. Вокалист Гленн Шоррок сделал себе имя в середине 60-х, в "Twilights", группе, игравшей в стиле "Beatles". Когда в 1969-м команда распалась Шоррок ушел в "Axiom". Будущий басист "Little river band" Биб Битлс играл в "Zoot", после распада которой выступал вместе с Грэмом Гоблом в "Mississippi". Познакомившись с Шорроком ребята решили создать новую группу. Желая славы, парни немедленно взялись за работу в студии. На ударных остался член "Mississippi" Дерек Пеллиси. Первым синглом группы стала кавер-версия песни "Everly brothers" "When will i be loved". Звучание же "Little river band" чем-то напоминало кантри-рока от "Eagles". Их первый альбом был выпущен в ноябре 1975-го.
На следующий год вышел второй диск, "After Hours", после чего команда впервые отправилась за границу и даже выступила на разогреве у "Queen". После поездки Грэм Гобл написал эпическую вещь "It's a Long Way There", которую удалось издать в Америке синглом. Неожиданно песня была замечена и даже попала в чарты.
Их американская компания грамзаписи решила, что второй альбом был слишком мрачен, и отправила группу прямо в студию, чтобы делать запись следующего диска, разрешив использовать на нем некоторые треки из "After Hours". В результате появился на свет "Diamantina Cocktail". Самой классной вещью с этого альбома стала "Help Is on Its Way" Шоррока. Композиция попала в штатовские чарты, а в Австралии надолго зависла на верних строчках хит-парадов. Альбом достиг в Америке золотого статуса, что было первый раз с какой-нибудь австралийской командой.
Следующий диск "Sleeper Catcher", записанный в Австралии, разошелся в США тиражом более миллиона копий. В это же время сингл "Reminiscing", занял третью позицию в штатовских чартах. В течение следующих четырех лет "Little river band" продолжали болтаться между двумя континентами, постоянно выступая с концертами.
Внутри группы отношения складывались не лучшим образом. Шоррок, Битлс и Гобл в студии записывались по отдельности, путешествовали по отдельности и лишь на сцене им приходилось быть "вместе". Регулярные замены других членов команды только усиливали напряженность. В перерыве между американскими турами Грэм Гобл взялся продюсировать альбом Джона Фарнхама, и сагитировал того заменить Гленна Шоррока. Фаны, особенно американские были в шоке. Однако "Little river band" вместе с Фарнхамом приступили к записи очередного альбома, "The net". Затем последовала вереница изменений в составе, включая уход Биба Битлса. За четыре года своего пребывания в "Little river band" Джон Фарнхам принял участие в записи трех альбомов. Но дело не ладилось и американские фаны не хотели его признавать. В конце 1985-го Джону пришлось уйти из группы, и он продолжил довольно успешно свою сольную карьеру.
"LRB" реанимировались в 1988 году с новым менеджментом и на новом лейбле. Гленн Шоррок и Дерек Пелликси воссоединились с Гоблом и при участии новичков Уэйна Нельсона и Джона Хосдена записали альбом "Monsoon" и сингл "Love Is a Bridge"

Источник - забугорный трекер. Все диски укомплектованы хорошими картинками! Допольнительно:The group evolved from the harmony laden country rock group Mississippi in 1975. Prior to that, Birtles had been the bassist in 1960s pop band Zoot (which also included singer-guitarist Rick Springfield), and Shorrock had been the lead singer of leading Australian 60s pop band The Twilights and early 1970s country rock band Axiom.
They found immediate success in Australia, but individual members had greater ambitions. Like many other Australasian groups of the period, both Axiom and Mississippi had tried to break into the UK record market without success. After Axiom disbanded after moving to the U.K., Shorrock sang for a short period with the more progressive rock outfit Esperanto before meeting and joining forces with Birtles, Goble & Pellicci in 1974. They agreed to meet back in their homeland by early 1975. Remembering the indifferent reaction they had received in the UK, they decided their new band would focus on establishing themselves in the United States.
A key factor in their eventual success was a fellow Aussie they'd also met while in England who became their manager, Glenn Wheatley. Wheatley had been the bassist in the highly-regarded Australian rock band The Masters Apprentices. Wheatley's first-hand experiences of the rip-offs in the 1960s music scene, combined with his subsequent experience working in music management in Britain and the United States in the early 1970s, enabled him to help Little River Band become the first Australian group to enjoy consistent commercial and chart success in the United States.
Fuelled by a very successful Australian hit single "Curiosity Killed the Cat", the band began making promotional visits to the U.S. in 1976. This resulted in a U.S. hit single, "It's a Long Way There" (edited down from an album track over 8 minutes long) , which broke into the Top 30 and galvanised the commitment of the band members. More concert performances in the US followed, and in 1977 "Help Is on Its Way" (an Australian number one single) and "Happy Anniversary" both narrowly missed the US Top 10. From 1978 until 1981, Little River Band achieved six consecutive US Top 10 singles with "Reminiscing" (#3, their biggest hit), "Lady" (#10), "Lonesome Loser" (#6), "Cool Change" (#10), "The Night Owls" (#6) and "Take It Easy on Me" (#10). During their career the band has sold more than 25 million records and has scored 13 American Top 40 hits.
Little River Band are considered to be among Australia's most significant bands. The "classic lineup" of the band (Birtles, Shorrock, Goble, Pellicci, Briggs and McArdle) were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the 18th Annual ARIA Music Awards of 2004. They performed "Help Is On Its Way" at the induction ceremony in Australia on October 17th, 2004.
Three founding members, Birtles, Shorrock and Goble, continue to perform reunion concerts but due to the fact they lost the rights to the name Little River Band, they appear under the name Birtles Shorrock Goble: The Original Voices of Little River Band.
"Reminiscing", written by Goble, was recognised by BMI as one of the most frequently played songs in the history of American radio, with more than four million plays to its credit. "Lady" has also accumulated more than three million plays, and Goble is the first and only Australian songwriter ever to win a Four "Million Air" award from BMI.[2] [3] According to Albert Goldman's biography, John Lennon named "Reminiscing" as one of his favorite songs.
Little River Band continues to work in the US and performs around 100 shows every year.
