LRB 2004 is ONLY a great "Covers" Band .. FULL STOP!!, February 21, 2004
This review is from: One Night In Mississippi (Audio CD)
Reading all the reviews up to date, tells me 3 things: 1. The reviewers haven't heard the CD or seen the DVD Birtles Shorrock Goble "Full Circle"...go listen GUYS then rethink !!! 2. There are NOT ONE original or near Original members in the Current LRB...LRB now is living off the the LRB Name... 3. Who wrote 95% of the HITS ...not the current band but Birtles, Shorrock and Gobles !!!! So guys listen to the Original Singer and composers, instead of listening to in actual fact "Covers" version of the SONGS and BAND!!! Listen to the original albums...then listen to this new CD and then listen to Full Circle..then tell me who are are the REAL LRB??? It's only legal reasons that the current band has the LRB name!!! Try this...Imagine if Mick and co are not in Rolling Stones 2004 ..would you say the band is still Rolling Stones!!! or if Don, Glen & co are not in Eagles now, would you still call them the Eagles??? it would be "Sacrilegious"!! Glen Shorrock's voice is Original...So do yourself a BIG favour...go listen to BSG "Full Circle"

Simply a great CD, June 23, 2009
This review is from: One Night In Mississippi (Audio CD)
Simply a great CD: you owe it to yourself to buy it. Great tunes, artfully fresh even when Classics, and a top quality sound throughout. There are few CD's that I will play end to end: this one makes the cut. Road trip in the future? Whether it be the tunnels into Manhattan, or cruising I-20 past the monuments of Vicksburg, or winding back from Santa Cruz, you now have great music to be with you, wherever you are.

The real facts about little River Band albums., August 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: One Night In Mississippi (Audio CD)
. . . Little River Band did not release 19 albums(as one poster claimed)and this tribute group's dreadful album is not by the real original band.Little River Band was formed in 1974 and released twelve albums-"Little River Band,After Hours,Diamantina Cocktail,Sleeper Catcher,First Under The Wire,Backstage Pass,Time Exposure,The Net,Playing To Win,No Reins,Monsoon and Get Lucky".Any other releases were simply compilation albums(greatest hits etc).None of the originals play or sing on this album.Minor backing players Steven Housden and Wayne Nelson,who joined eight years after the band was formed, wrote none of LRB's 13 US Billboard top forty hits.Steven has been in the tribute band for many years,not the real band.Fans should also note that this tribute band's owner took court action to prevent the original three founding members(Goble,Shorrock and Birtles)from reforming as the real LRB and recording a new album.A truly despicable thing to do that has penalised the original band's fans.This tribute band did not "morph" from the original,the present owner simply bought the rights to the LRB name after the original band split up.If you want the real band's albums then check out those listed above or get the greatest hits albums like "Reminiscing,The Twentieth Anniversary Collection".But read the reviews carefully to avoid this tribute band imposing their(so far)two albums onto you.
