1981 Little River Band – Time Exposure
Time Exposure is the sixth studio album by Little River Band, which was recorded with producer George Martin at Associated Independent Recording (AIR) in Montserrat and released in September 1981. It peaked at No. 9 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart. In the United States, it reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200.
It was the group’s last album with Glenn Shorrock on lead vocals until 1988. In the interim John Farnham took over as main lead vocalist, staying with the band for the next three studio albums. Time Exposure was also the last album with lead guitarist David Briggs who left prior to its release. He was replaced on tour by Stephen Housden, who later joined the group. The album had other band members on lead vocals: Beeb Birtles on two tracks, “Ballerina” and “Guiding Light”, and Wayne Nelson on the single “The Night Owls” which peaked at #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100, while “Take It Easy On Me” went to #10 and Man On Your Mind” was #14.
