"I like "reminiscing" and "lady" but the superb long track "light of day" has a surreal quality to it.Listen for when the brilliant long bass guitar solo merges with an orchestral instrument(wonderful music!).Possibly the best bass solo of all time,the album is worth buying for that one track."

If you only own one LRB album, this is the one!

"Sleeper Catcher shows LRB at the peak of their career. The album contains the hits 'Reminiscing' and 'Lady,' and features John Boylan's superb production. The band shows that they know how to rock out as well, on 'So Many Paths' and 'Shut Down Turn Off.' LRB's trademark harmonies shine here, which is why this album continues to grow on me even after 20 years."

A Classic Of 1970's Pop

"While LRB broke through in the USA with 1977's country-tinged "Help Is On Its Way", this tremendous album took them a notch deeper. And it's filled with pop gems. "Reminscing" is a bittersweet country ballad, "Lady" is a slow blues ballad that flows beautifully, "Shut Down Turn Off" is a tightly played soft rock number and "Fall From Paradise" is a numbing call to faith. This band would produce two more solid albums before slipping from view in the USA; but they would never again produce as cohesive an album as "Sleeper Catcher". This is a top notch band that never got their due; this is an excellent place to start to get to know them."
