I was skeptical buying this cd because I hate getting edited down single versions of songs. I bought it anyway because it was much cheaper than the other greatest hits package. I did make note of the song lengths printed on the other hits package. As it turns out these versions are the full length versions and the full price greatest hits has edited versions. This contains 2 fewer songs than the other one but this one includes all of their American Top 20 hits.

The Little River Band has to be one of the most underrated groups of all time. From the nostalgic "Reminiscing", to
the funky "Happy Anniversary", all the way to the uplifting
anthem "Cool Change", LRB crossed all musical genres with
ease; making them appealing to a broad audience. The first
night I received this CD, I played it five times in a row.
Glen Shorrock and Graham Goble should have never stopped writing!
A definite must for any contemporary music fan of the late 70's
and early 80's.

A solid album that doesn't have a bad song on it! All the tunes are original full length studio versions. I was a little skeptical before I purchased the CD, but now that I have listened to the whole thing, I am not disappointed. You won't be either.

I was at the music store the other day and I was looking for a Little River Band compilation because I knew I had to get one of their cd's. I started to get their Greatest Hits but then I found this one, All-Time Greatest Hits, and got it instead because it also has all the Little River Band songs that I like the best ("Lady," "Lonesome Loser," "Reminiscing," and "Cool Change") and 6 other songs that I didn't know, plus it was a lot cheaper. I'm glad I stuck with buying this one because it has all the Little River Band I'll ever need. The 6 songs I don't know are also good, especially "Take It Easy On Me."

What really makes Little River Band a great group is that they know how to make great songs that are equally catchy. They know how to blend their voices real well to make their songs as good as they could possibly be. They're also great singers and good musicians. I recommend anybody who likes Little River Band or great 70s music to get their All-Time Greatest Hits album, but if you want these songs plus some more I'd recommend getting Greatest Hits instead.

I enjoyed listening to the Little River Band on the Radio in the late 1970's and early 1980's. This CD has all their hits and the songs are the ones I know every word of. From "Cool Change", "Take It Easy On Me", "Man On Your Mind" and my favorite "Reminiscing" these are songs you can hear over and over again.

It's ashame that there are not bands like this today, with all the heavy metal and grunge left over wannabe's to those who want to sound like Mariah Carey or Boyz II Men, I miss the sound of the 70's suburbs. The Little River Band reminds me of when we didn't take ourselves too seriously and had to have some sort of attitude and message with a song. These are just nice to listen to "light" hits. This is a CD that I enjoy listening to and I recommend it to those who like to listen to great vocals and good songs where they don't scream at you.

This is a great CD. The Little River Band did a good handful of wonderful songs in the late seventies and early eighties. They are all on this one great value of a disc. Other discs purport to be more comprehensive anthologies of their work. In my opinion, no others are necessary. This has all their big hits, like "Lady" "Cool Change" and "Reminiscing", as well as other less commercially successful and equally enjoyable songs.

The only one you need!

If there was ever a CD that truly lived up to its name of "Greatest Hits" THIS IS IT!!!!! How many times have you bought a CD where EVERY SONG was good? This is one of them! You can listen to it over and over and not get sick of these classic 70s & 80s tunes. VERY highly recommended, and how can you beat it at this price????

I've enjoyed the CD from the day I received it, it's well worth the money

I listened to these guys growing up and loved every song on this album. I didn't realize till my 20's that the same band had done all of these songs, because they were pretty different sort of like ELO. Also, it is nice to hear music that isn't angry.

These songs take me back and are all top hits! It should be noted that the CD will not play in some players. Some copy protected thing I guess. It would be nice if Amazon would list the players that don't work with these CDs so we could make a better buying decision. 2 stars for the player problems. 5 stars fot the music.
