Idle Race (album)
Idle Race is the self-titled follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed debut LP, "The Birthday Party".
Released in November 1969, this record was the first to bear the famous Produced By Jeff Lynne tag. While the album was more straightforward and poppy than its predecessor, like the first Idle Race offering, it failed to crack the charts. Flustered, Jeff Lynne decided to accept Roy Wood's invitation to join fellow Brum band The Move.

Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or race:
“... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Let me live in my house by the side of the road—
It’s here the race of men go by.
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong
Wise, foolish—so am I;”
—Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
