The story of It’s A Long Way There by the Little River Band - ABC Nightlife

[@bradboltan]

I have their first album with this song. The album is awesome. One of my favorite songs of all time. Saw them twice in the 70's in their prime. Enjoyed it immensely.

"Diamantina Cocktail" is one of the BEST albums of the 70s. If you have never heard it, get it. It is musical genius and a total masterpiece. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

Still stands up 50 years later

It's all in the Bassline...

@@SecretAgentPaul It was the synergy of inspiration from all of us

This band had the attention of 'ol Blue Eyes, John Lennon, The Eagles and all of us too, not much more to be said.

The previous line up was the best musicians with Glen Shorrock on vocals, Beeb Birtles, Graham Gobble, Derek Pellici, Ric Formosa, Roger McLachlan. Looks like there are no more original members left all fakes.

😒🤢 This 'interview' has all the sickly features of old-skool Australian radio: formulaic scripted blurb; glib enthusiasm; shallow and infrequent questions; 5:1 host-to-guest speaking time. Terribly tedious stuff - especially as Shorrock _could have_ shared myriad stories of this interesting and blossoming phase of the Strayan music industry.
