The Definitive Collection (Little River Band album)

The Definitive Collection originally released overseas in 2002 and released in the U.S. in 2004 -- pretty much lives up to the promise of its title, offering 13 of the Little River Band's biggest hits over the course of its 19 tracks.^[3] All the usual suspects are here -- Help Is on Its Way, "Happy Anniversary," Reminiscing, "Lady," "Lonesome Loser," "The Night Owls," Cool Change, "Take It Easy on Me," "Man on Your Mind" -- along with a good choice of album tracks. While the 2000 expanded version of Greatest Hits has more actual charting American hits -- including "I'll Always Call Your Name" and "You're Driving Me Out of My Mind," neither of which are here -- this nevertheless has the great majority of LRB's best work and will satisfy most fans looking for a thorough hits collection.^[4]
