 | | The Idle Race itself evolved out of one of the most promising of local early-'60s Birmingham bands, Mike Sheridan & the Nightriders, who recorded for EMI and later for Polydor and whose membership included a young Roy Wood. |
 | | Jeff Lynne was offered the chance to replace Trevor Burton in the Move, but he refused, preferring to remain with the Idle Race, where he took on a still greater role in the shaping of the group's sound, co-producing their next few singles. |
 | | Most people, in speaking of the Idle Race, are referring to the group as it existed during the years 1966-1969 with Lynne in the lineup. |
