The Idle Race

Musical Group

English psychedelic-pop group from Birmingham, led in its classic line-up by Jeff Lynne; best known for the 1968 album The Birthday Party.

Formed in mid-late 1960s in Birmingham; Jeff Lynne was a key member before moving on to the Move and Electric Light Orchestra. The band received critical support (John Peel, Kenny Everett) and admiration from peers but limited commercial success.

The reviews praise The Idle Race's 1968 album Birthday Party and highlight the band's refined psychedelic-pop songwriting and Jeff Lynne's distinctive voice and guitar. Reviewers place the band in late-1960s Birmingham psych-pop circles and note critical respect despite limited commercial success.

For:Fans of 1960s British psychedelic pop, Jeff Lynne collectors, and listeners of vintage psych-pop.

I insert into Debaser's wonderful cauldron a highly shining diadem, which was one of the most refined bands of the late '60s, the Idle Race.
