Idle Race UK Reissue LP The birthday party EX ’76 Sunset Psyche Pop Jeff Lynne
UK Reissue LP released in 1976 on Sunset Records. Cat: SLS50381.
The debut album by this unjustly overlooked band is a piece of classic British psychedelia that transcends its origins. Most British bands trying to achieve a psychedelic sound in those days simply played softly and sang in a very effete and poetic manner the Idle Race, by contrast, play hard here and don't sound effete so much as just cheerfully trippy, a lot like the Beatles of "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever"; indeed, "End of the Road" from this album sounds like a rewrite of "Penny Lane." Jeff Lynne is the dominant personality here, as composer, guitarist, and singer, and, as one might expect given his presence, the music all has a Beatles-like quality of playfulness amid the musical invention.
Tracks : Skeleton and the roundabout/ Happy birthday/ The birthday/ I like my toys/ Morning sunshine/ Follow me follow/ Sitting in my tree/ On with the show/ Lucky man/ Mrs. Ward/ Pie in the sky/ The lady who said she could fly/ End of the road.
