The complete recordings of one of the 60's most notorious also-rans, the Idle Race. They had some big celebrity fans apparently (the Beatles etc) but never cracked the UK, let alone overseas.
Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and Roy Wood of the Move started here. Compellingly inventive songwriting - some real lost gems to be found... peppered with some real toytown-psychedelia twaddle. Great. The later 'mature' stuff is tiresome MOR.
