4.0 out of 5 stars Solid work from a solid band!, July 25, 2008

'First Under the Wire' is a very consistent and pleasing record. Assuming you like the LRB sound (I do, very much -- but they inspire loathing in some, a mystery to me unless those people hate melody, killer harmonies, and strong songwriting). I find it to be essentially a reworking of their previous album 'Sleepercatcher', with lots of 'matching' tracks. Cool Change=Sanity's Side, The Rumor=Shut Down Turn Off, Middle Man=Light of Day etc. That's not a problem for me though, because I love Sleepercatcher. I have to take issue with the reviewer who panned Mistress Of Mine, though... I think it's one of Glenn Shorrock's finest moments.

Definitely one of LRB's high points.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorites, February 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: First Under Wire (Audio CD)

I have been looking for this album in CD form since my turntable died and never could. This is one of my all time favorites and I was devistated when I couldn't listen to it. It brings back some very pleasant memories and I always long for them when I hear this great album. I hope everyone gets a chance to listen to the great vocal qualities of the members of LRB. They blend in a way few bands ever have. The words of Cool Change are powerful and speak of a point in my life when I knew it really was time for a change. What a great album!

i can't believe that this album not reissued yet. capitol records must be out of there heads not to put this classic album on cd, with all these killer tracks on both sides i'm scratching my head in amazement that they deleted it in the first place, if you can find it , it's worth the $ to get it. i do hope it will get reissued someday with the catchy harmories & guitar work it's winner . highly recommended!
