Description

This is the very scarce LP 'THE BIRTHDAY PARTY' by THE IDLE RACE, featuring JEFF LYNNE (who penned most of this album) later of THE MOVE, E.L.O. and TRAVELING WILBURIES fame. It is, of course, an original FIRST PRESSING on the LIBERTY label, cat # LBS 83132 (Stereo). Unfortunately, G/F the cover has seen better days with fairly heavy wear to the edges and spine: please study the pics below. Mind you, I have seen plenty worse! The vinyl, on the other hand, is in Mint condition with full-on sheen and sounds just superb. Similarly the labels are also Mint. Although THE IDLE RACE are usually classed as 'progressive rock' (and this LP certainly has overtones of such) I think 'intelligent pop' is a better summing up of their style.

SIDE ONE: SKELETON AND THE ROUNDABOUT; HAPPY BIRTHDAY; THE BIRTHDAY; I LIKE MY TOYS; MORNING SUNSHINE; FOLLOW ME FOLLOW; SITTING IN MY TREE

SIDE TWO: ON WITH THE SHOW; LUCKY MAN; MRS. WARD; PIE IN THE SKY; THE LADY WHO SAID SHE COULD FLY; END OF THE ROAD

OVERSEAS SHIPPING: EUROPE = £4.50 USA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD = £6.00.
