Little River Band - Shut Down, Turn Off (1978)

[bav854]

glenn shorrock in my opinion is the voice of LRB. nobody else even comes close.

[nzoz1978]

@bav854 John Farnham is known as 'The Voice' due to his hit 'You're The Voice' and has been the most popular singer in Australia- BUT, he was not made for LRB. Without Glenn Shorrock, it just isn't LRB! That Farnham era was a hollow period.. the songs were good, but without Glenn, they're lost...

[MichaelHansenFUN]

in america. this was the b side to LONESOME LOser

[CoreaKixx420]

This was about my favorite song on the collossal '78 lp Sleeper Catcher.Still one of the best pop/rock albums....and how about the extraordinary vocals from Glen Shorrock???? Wow!!!!!!!!!Saw them live at London Gardens in late '78 or early '79. Truly amazing night.

[rickcoram1]

An Aussie treasure from the '70s which a line-up of several writers; the purest harmonies possible; technically perfect masters of their instruments. Little River Band indeed !

[T395rulestheline]

mmm B80 locomotive. that loco is still getting around in different co0lours of course

[dave440v8]

@T395rulestheline good to see someones swiched on b80

[resbuzz]

This was the flipside of "Lonesome Loser"

[cparkes92]

LRB did put out a few good songs after Shorrock left, such as The Other Guy, We Two, and Playing to Win.

[DAYSONTHEROAD]

No fake LRB here, and no Housden & Nelson. This is the REAL Little River Band.

[MrDaGeil]

@DAYSONTHEROAD And no John Farnham. Nothing against Farnham, but it didn't work and twas painfully obvious.

[helloworld0714]

my father ask me to download LRB songs...

at first, I really don't like this old band but then I started to like their music...

[EddieAlda]

@helloworld0714 some of their songs are annoying, but essentially they were a fine band, until Glenn shorrock left.

[manabrau]

LOL! that video is so daggy! .... awesome song!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

promo video for tv shows

but was this a hit? I think it was a b side for LONESOME LOOSER in the usa

[Coowallsky]

@TEMPmichaelhansen Actually came out on the album before LL.

[firstbaldwin]

this is a really corny video... but there are lots of downright STUPID ones out there,

& DAMN these guys were SO GOOD at making MUSIC. Its almost magic.

I LOVE LRB!

[Kingmick58]

Love it. An old Aussie beauty.

[loboscar57]

Thanks nzoz1978 for this gem.

[sweetmarie72]

One of my favorite all time groups. they don't make music like this anymore

[RoyStewart]

Great stuff can anyone remember a track of theirs with the words " red headed wild flower, growing in the wrong garden " ? I'd like to know the name of the song please

[luvdemheels]

@RoyStewart .....the name of the song is Red- Headed Wild Flower from the SLEEPER CATCHER album

[RoyStewart]

@luvdemheels Thanks !

[luvdemheels]

@RoyStewart ...u r quite welcome

[Coowallsky]

"Light of Day" is an excellent tune and George McArdle was an excellent bass player. Wonder why this was the B-Side of "Lonesome Loser" as they were from different LPs.

[chrisindarwin]

Cannot believe this the only copy in the wild.

[erosromantic]

Ah - the best days!

[xeuropn]

Great song, but my favorite was Light Of Day. It's almost unheard of, as you can't find it anywhere in video or concert clips. Too bad.

[erosromantic]

@xeuropn Totally agree - that was an amazing track - I had my vinyl version stolen and I MISS that track! That and the full version of "long way there"

[hpeter59]

Aloha all you Aussies.. I did not know that the Little River Band are Australian, would not have put that past them.. lovely music, indeed, five stars and one more for doing well ...

[ausboy65]

talent at its very best

[billsaintkilda]

You got that right!

[fixitdude74]

[waggafletcher]

You've done it again nzozy!

[AdoThePirate]

@waggafletcher agreed!!

[phileustace]

LRB 4 LIFE !!!!!!

[hermannsam1]

Such a wonderful song and moment in time. The true talent of LRB is all right here. Brilliant. It royally pisses me off that the LRB name is being soiled by impo$ter$. Karma...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

AWESOME

THE B SIDE OF LONESOME LOSER!!!

remember this from my childhood

i wonder if MTV ever played these videos?

[setenteromusic]

GOOD BAND!!

[siasti]

Listened daily to a couple of cassettes of LRB's hits when I was at uni. They are permanently imprinted on my brain. Favorites include "Emma" and "Man on your mind"...

[terrysteward]

gr8 harmonies vocals and guitars !!!,i still listen to them even now,a couple of years back,shorrock goble and birtles bought out a dvd called full circle,performing many of their hits !!

[fernald10]

Not a huge fan of LRB, but I do like this song. There's no doubt that Derek Pellicci is an outstanding drummer. A nice Chris Lofven video too.

[vinylman4533]

Great memories of LRB

[sallie6]

What a great band it was!! love it....thanks for sharing this gem xxx

[sognol]

Little River Station, S class, B class, BCPL cars, great song, good old times.

[brownsugah66]

[Kiwiblokenz]

Hmmm, spoiling my memory of LRB

[Kiwiblokenz]

I love LRB but this sucked
