The Idle Race...
The Idle Race- Back To The Story
Here it is, the complete works by The Idle Race, this was released in 1996 and sold out very quickly and even just the CD goes for over $200, so you can imagine how valued the first pressing albums are! Excellent band, The Birthday Party (1968) alone is enough to give them a secure place as one of the best of the psych scene. So all the works by one of the greats, for free! Everyone's happy! Download it, because every psych fan NEEDS this in their collection! Can't praise it enough...!
Back To The Story has all 3 Idle Race albums (with and without Jeff Lynne, tho Jeff Lynne era Idle Race is, in my opinion alot better!), singles and b-sides, and three un-issued alternate versions. There are also 2 tracks from Jeff Lynne's 1966 recording sessions with The Nightriders to end the collection.
On another note, I was very sad to see the apparent end of the Past Tense blog, some really excellent music was uploaded, I hope to see Past Tense again as the music he loaded was incredible. Many Thanks and best wishes to him.

i. For once a CD that I actually have and like Tom, can thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Excellent stuff.
ii. It seems to be the season for blogs to be calling it a day. As well as Past Tense, Hearwax, Psych Cinnamon, Voltage Control Technicolor & In The Crowd, have all closed down although I see that VCT is up again as a Jazz blog!
Perhaps it's a sign of the times. Keep up the good work Tom.

Excellent blog.
Thanks -- just in case you hadn't noticed, Rapidshare allows 300 MB files now.
Thanks for this great post. I have to confess I've not heard any Idle Race before but I'm stunned by the
quality & diversity of these tracks. Thanks again.
Excellent. More than excellent. Almost perfect. Ta.
yeah great,thanks.
hello,
i just wanted to say you have very good taste in music.
i've had all the Idle Race stuff for quite some time. i even got to see Jeff Lynne himself do the Zoom show in 2001 for the ELO revival in Hollywood!
i really don't know how this blog thing works yet, but when i figure it out i would love to share some gems with you.
my name is Tim and i live in a town called Merced in California.
anyway, i'd like to thank you for the good music you've turned me onto here.
btw, watch ftmusic.com, the official Electric Light Orchestra website for the forthcoming Idle Race box set. it's going to be very, very awesome!
peace out,
Tim
Been looking for this album for a while, but I'm late and the link is out. If you can re-up it, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm such a Jeff Lynne fan. By the way, you've got great music taste. I'm also a fan.
