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.

“Nor for my words shall ye forget your tears,
Or hope again for aught that I can say,
The idle singer of an empty day.”
