About Diamantina Cocktail

Diamantina Cocktail is the third album by the Little River Band. The U. S. version of the album was actually a partial compilation of the Australian versions of After Hours and Diamantina Cocktail. Also noteworthy was that 3 songs, "Broke Again", "The Inner Light" and "Another Runway" were radically different mixes from the original Australian "After Hours" LP, remixed especially for the US market. In 1980 Capitol Records released the remaining tracks on a U. S. version of After Hours. The album was the band's breakthrough in the United States, reaching #49 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart in 1977 and containing two top 20 singles in "Help Is on Its Way" and "Happy Anniversary". The album was certified Gold in the U. S. by the R. I. A. A. in January 1978 for over 500,000 copies sold. On 30 July 2010, the original Australian version of Diamantina Cocktail became available for download (in digitally remastered form) at the iTunes Store for the first time in the U. S. The U. S. versions of "Days on the Road" and "Take Me Home" were added as bonus tracks, and the cover art for both the original Australian LP and the American version was used ignoring the alternate sleeve used in the UK.
