: IDLE RACE ‘THE BIRTHDAY PARTY’ RARE **MONO** 1968 UK LIBERTY RECORDS VINYL LP IN LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE CATALOGUE NUMBER, LBL 83132.

The Idle Race were a British rock group from Birmingham in the late 1960s and early 1970s who had a cult following but never enjoyed mass commercial success. In addition to being the springboard for Jeff Lynne, the band holds a place of significance in British Midlands' pop-rock history as a link between The Move, the Electric Light Orchestra, Steve Gibbons Band and Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders. The core of the group, rhythm guitarist Dave Pritchard, bass guitarist Greg Masters and drummer Roger Spencer, was relatively unchanged from 1959 until February 1972. The band went through several incarnations, names, lead guitarists and lead singers: first Billy King and later, more successfully, with Mike Sheridan, with whom they first rose to prominence and, in 1964, to a record deal with EMI. Eager to showcase Lynne's vocal and guitar skills as well as his growing cache of catchy Beatlesque songs, the group changed its name, first to Idyll Race, then Idle Race. Wood, now a major star as the Move became a successful chart act, helped arrange a partnership with pop producers Eddie Offord and Gerald Chevin for his old bandmates. In 1967, The Idle Race were the first major signing by the new British arm of Liberty Records. Interesting, only their first single (not issued in the UK) and their first album got released in the US on Liberty. (Liberty would later merge with United Artists.) Both record labels are in undamaged Near Mint condition, superb bright and undamaged record labels with just a couple of light signs of play to the centre of each record label.

Side 1 matrix information: LBL 83132 A#1 420 and Side 2: LBL 83232 B#1..
Both sides of the Vinyl Disc are in superb Near Mint condition, beautiful clean, bright vinyl surfaces to both sides.

The LP plays through both sides without faults, a great set of songs, a majority of which were written by Jeff Lynne.

The LP comes in a Made in England inner bag, and is protected in it’s original laminated gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve is in superb Excellent condition. This is a nice sleeve, there are no tears or seam splits just mild signs of record storage, and light rub marks to the edges and spine.

This is a superb example of this 1968 rare UK album from Idle Race.
