Music reviews of Little River Band - Greatest Hits
Music Review: Best single disc compilation (now that is has been "fixed")
Rating: 5 Stars
If you're making your decision on whether or not to pick up this CD based on all the 1* reviews out there, please note that Capitol fixed the "error" and now "Man on Your Mind", "Night Owls", and "Take It Easy on Me" are the versions that appeared on the original "Time Exposure" LP. The ONLY track that differs from its LP format is "Playing to Win" which rocks even harder than the original and, for me, represents the career misstep that resulted in the atypical, hard-rocking album of the same name. If they wanted to include a track from "Playing..." I would have picked a more LRB-ish one: "Piece of the Dream", "Don't Blame Me", and "Blind Eyes" come to mind.
Now that it has been "fixed", the 18-track "Greatest Hits" becomes the best single-disc compilation available getting the nod over 2002's Definitive Collection in terms of covering the hits. "Definitive" is one track longer and includes the full length version of "It's A Long Way There" but by including several '70s-era "album tracks" (Curiosity Killed The Cat, Emma, Everyday Of My Life, Home On Monday, Shut Down Turn Off) omits several singles: "Face In The Crowd" (from '86s "No Reins") and "You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind", LRB's last Top 40 hit ('83s "The Net") both of which feature strong lead vocals from John Farnham. Also missing on "Definitive" are '77s "I'll Always Call You Name" (from the debut) and "It's Not A Wonder" (from 1980s "First Under the Wire"): singles which failed to make it into the top 40. The biggest hits are present on both so it's really a matter of preference and in either case you get a generous sampling of outstanding music and performances (especially those incredible harmonies).
You also might want to seriously consider springing for the 2-disc, out of print Reminiscing: The 20th Anniversary Collection which features 22 of the 23 tracks contained on "Greatest Hits" and "Definitive" (Face in the Crowd is not included) PLUS an additional 12 songs including early album tracks like "Statue of Liberty", "Sweet Old Fashioned Man", "Days on the Road", non-LP single "Long Jumping Jeweler", and later-LRB tracks such as "Time for Us", "It's Cold Out Tonight", "Love Is A Bridge", "Son of a Famous Man", "Soul Searching", "I Dream Alone", the last five featuring Glenn Shorrock and his return to the band in the late '80s for the two MCA label releases "Monsoon" (a wonderful return to form) and "Get Lucky", neither of which are covered on "Greatest Hits" or "Definitive". Just about everything on the 2-disc set is classic LRB and with so much of LRB's catalog out of print this may be the easiest (certainly the least expensive) way to get it.
