Farnham

This mammoth three-disc collection from celebrated (he’s got his own statue) English-born Australian pop singer John Farnham features nearly five decades of hits, from his teen pop idol days through his late-'80s/early-'90s peak and on through his charity-driven later years.

Featuring many world-premiere recordings, this album highlights the work of one of Britain’s most accomplished composers in performances by BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Singers with conductor Alice Farnham.

When Glenn Shorrock took his leave of Little River Band in February 1982, after seven years of distinguished service, there was really only one logical choice for his replacement. The band turned to a versatile, highly experienced performer who possessed a rich expansive voice of untapped range which could soar, swoop, sting and serenade with uniform intensity. LRB founder Graham Goble was well aware of John Famham’s capacities. Having observed and admired his development over the previous 14 years, he became John’s producer for the 1981 Uncovered album. It was during those sessions that LRB’s American member provided a vital objective appraisal. “I remember putting on headphones in the studio and this amazing voice was coming through” relates Wayne Nelson. “I couldn’t work out why I’d never heard it before.”
