IDLE RACE For the Jeff's negative answer, Roy come back again after Idle race finished their secon album with the same proposal to Jeff, but as a last resort, because Carl Wayne had leaves The Move and Roy needs soon a new vocalist, in this case the answer was affirmative.

With this new members, made a new album, the third of Idle Race, and it was called TIME IS, it has two singles, they were: In The Summertime (this single was number 1 in Argentine) and Neanderthal Man. www.wildwesthero-elo.com.ar /boloqui/idle.html   (327 words)

Dave Walker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Unfortunately, the album was not a commercial success and by the beginning of 1971, Idle Race had folded. Idle Race also recorded an album for Regal Zonophone called Time Is in 1970. Although the other members of Idle Race could not find a songwriter/vocalist/guitarist in the league of Lynne, Walker had replaced Lynne on lead vocals and Lynne was replaced on guitar by Mike Hopkins. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dave_Walker   (2005 words)

Idle Race A music press article on the Idle Race in 1969 quoted Jeff Lynne as being disillusioned about the bands' lack of chart success and this was further reinforced by the poor sales of the Idle Race's second self-titled album released in November of 1969 on which Lynne himself had handled the production. In early 1969 the Idle Race began recording a second album which would be released at the end of the year. The other members of Idle Race were naturally disappointed with Lynne's decision but decided to carry on with replacements Mike Hopkins, formerly of the Diplomats and The Lemon Tree, on guitar/vocals and Dave Walker from The Redcaps on vocals & harmonica. www.brumbeat.net /idle.htm   (1197 words)

Electric Light Orchestra - Overview The Idle Race would go on to do a third album with more of a folk-music feel, called Time Is, as well as a few post-Lynne singles, but the band never did become famous and eventually folded. The Move's self-titled album also included the song The Lemon Tree, which The Idle Race had covered for one of their singles. But to begin at the beginning, The Idle Race were a creative little pop band, who strangely never had any hits. home.epix.net /~eichler/reviews/misc/elo.htm   (8138 words)

Making Time- The Idle Race The Idle Race was one of the top 1960s acts never to have a hit although Jeff Lynne later made up for this with a stint in The Move before forming The Electric Light Orchestra with Ropy Wood and Bev Bevan in the 1970s. The Idle Race came out of Mike Sheridan and the Nightriders, a Birmingham group that included future Move, ELO and Wizzard frontman Roy Wood. The Idle Race released two poorly-selling LPs, The Birthday Party and The Idle Race. www.makingtime.co.uk /idlerace.html   (234 words)

SongBook / A Message From The Country - The Jeff Lynne Years, 1968-1973 Still, while much of the Move and ELO music on this album can be heard elsewhere (and, indeed, are reviewed elsewhere here), the Idle Race songs are truly well-crafted for their time, and considering that Lynne was just venturing into songwriting. Even in the late 60's tunes he wrote for his band Idle Race, it's easy to hear the Lennon/McCartney influences - actually no so much easy to hear them, but impossible to miss them.

Jeff Lynne Prior to Electric Light Orchestra Lynne was a member of The Move and Idle Race. In February of 1994, Lynne fulfilled a life long dream by working with the three surviving Beatles on their Anthology album series, and reunion tracks "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love".

the birthday party Roy managed to convince Eddie and Gerald to see the Idle Race at the Cedar Club and it was soon after, that they offered to help the Idle Race record their debut album. Eddie Offord and Gerald 'Peanuts' Chevin must be congratulated as the Birthday Party album is fully of creative editing, short samples and sound effects which compliment the bizzare nature of the subject material! This is where the Move had just recorded their first self titled album where Offord and Chevin had been the sound engineers. members.iinet.net.au /~althomp@iinet.net.au/austelo/idle/partyanimal.htm   (764 words)

Electric Light Orchestra II : beatles-discography.com shop It's those 5 songs that make this album great.The songs are almost erie in a way, just like the preceding album and the move's albums too.I suggest you pick up this album if you like the move and the Idle race's style of music like I do. Electric Light Orchestra II was a transitional album for ELO as Roy Wood departed in mid-stream (though he plays uncredited on the two "Boogies.") It's wildly experimental, at times rough and barely listenable, but it is a brilliant and stirring piece of work. (As has been noted, this album is entitled "II" by the ORIGINAL Electric Light Orchestra; it is not the self-titled debut of "The Electric Light Orchestra Part Two.") That settled, we can say that the 1973 album "II" by ELO is a masterpiece, albeit somewhat flawed by later ELO production standards. www.beatles-discography.com /shop/product.aspx?asin=B0000025DW   (764 words)

Electric Light Orchestra biography .ms The band, formed by Jeff Lynne (of The Idle Race) along with Roy Wood and Bev Bevan (the remaining members of the Move) in 1971, used cellos and violins to give their music a "classical" sound. With Lynne's agreement, another version of the band (without him) was formed in 1990 by drummer Bev Bevan, when "Electric Light Orchestra, Part II" was put together, releasing an album that went straight to the bargain bins. Roy Wood left ELO shortly after the release of their eponymously-titled first album (which produced the UK hit "10538 Overture") and Jeff Lynne stepped up to lead the band (the first album was released with the mistaken title of No Answer in the USA, due to a mix-up with a telephone message). electric-light-orchestra.biography.ms   (303 words)

VH1.com : Jeff Lynne : Biography Lynne began his career in the late '60s as the frontman of a group called the Idle Race, which recorded the album The Birthday Party for RCA in 1969. In 1970, Lynne accepted an invitation from Move leader Roy Wood to join his revamped band; the two shared a vision of fusing electric rock & roll with classical orchestrations, a concept that eventually transformed the Move into the Electric Light Orchestra (instead of the two groups running concurrently, as had originally been planned). In 1990, Lynne released his first solo album, Armchair Theatre, and worked on the Wilburys' second album, Volume III. www.vh1.com /artists/az/lynne_jeff/bio.jhtml   (370 words)

The Uglys The project was relatively short lived and after recording a solo album, Steve Gibbons joined a late line-up of the Idle Race which evolved into the Steve Gibbons Band by the early 1970’s. Steve Gibbons teamed up with guitarist Trevor Burton from The Move in 1969 and by April of that year they had formed a new group called Balls along with singer/guitarist Denny Laine (formerly of the Moody Blues), and former Uglys drummer Keith Smart.

Chaz Reviews #11: Message from the Country After a number of personnel (and, eventually, management) changes, the final version of the Move was Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, and Jeff Lynne from the Idle Race (which grew out of the same Nightriders group Wood had previously left). Roy Wood left ELO after one album, and Lynne and Bevan carried on to great financial (and, more often than not, artistic) success — even in the United States. None of this is particularly coherent, but all of it is wonderful to hear — except maybe "My Marge", a not-all-that-funny poke at singers of the Rudy Vallee stripe. www.dustbury.com /music/movemsg.html   (513 words)

Jeff Lynne The band subsequently changed their name to The Idle Race and made young Jeff their front man. Soon he wrote most of the band's songs and became the producer of their second LP as well. In 1970 Jeff Lynne left the band in order to join The Move, then a very popular and successful band in Britain, accepting Roy Wood's second invitation, who promised his old friend Lynne to launch a new project, called The Electric Light Orchestra, which had been on his mind for a couple of years. The double album was recorded in Munich in just three months after Lynne had locked himself into a Swiss chalet to plan his masterpiece: "I'd usually have all the songs written before we went in the studio. www.face-the-music.de /jeff_e.html   (1546 words)
