1986 Original press. The tenth studio album by Australian rock group Little River Band. It signified a period of transition for the band, as it was the last album to feature long-time lead vocalist John Farnham before his departure. By this point, Little River Band had shifted from the commercial peak of their late '70s and early '80s soft rock sound, navigating both internal changes and evolving musical trends. The album was recorded in Melbourne and produced by Richard Dodd, who had worked with the band previously. While "No Reins" did not achieve the same level of commercial success as their earlier releases, it reflected the band's commitment to musicianship and melodic songwriting, even amidst roster changes.
