Although the Idle Race were described in the press as ‘the most exciting British group since the Beatles’, they never made the commercial breakthrough that was widely predicted. Nonetheless, they were one of the UK’s hardest working bands between 1967 and 1969, releasing numerous records, playing many gigs and taping various radio sessions. This superb set presents the fruits of seven separate BBC Radio sessions, containing many classic songs of their own as well as material by West Coast bands such as Moby Grape, the Doors and Sopwith Camel, giving a vivid idea of how they sounded in concert. It comes together with archival notes, rare images and a reproduced promotional handout.
