    The Idle Race  are a beloved  band of British  psychedelia collectors,
    because the music  was rare, because  the band was  Jeff Lynne's first
    significant group, and because the music was, by and large, very good.
    There is a bit of a relative judgment there -- this is not music  that
    stands among  the very  best of  British pop-psych  of the '60s, since
    it's not as innovative or  consistent as the Beatles, Pink  Floyd, the
    Move,  or even  Tomorrow, but  it's certainly  among the  best of  the
    second  tier, as  singles like  "Impostors of  Life's Magazine,"  "Big
    Chief Wooly Bosher," and "Girl  at the Window" illustrate. Since  this
    band itself is a collector's item, it only makes sense for  collectors
    to seek out EMI Premier's 1996 collection Back to the Story, which was
    only available for  a brief period  (possibly a matter  of months) the
    year of its  release. This is  the complete Idle  Race, containing the
    three albums (Birthday Party, Idle  Race, Time Is), the ten  non-album
    tracks, three previously unreleased  alternate versions and two  songs
    from the Nightriders, Lynne's first band. This is a treasure trove for
    both British psych and ELO fanatics, and while the best of this is  on
    See for Miles' The Best of  Idle Race, the hardcore are going  to seek
    this out.  But they  will pay  a price  -- just  five years  after its
    release, this was going for well over 120 dollars a pop on eBay. Is it
    worth  it?  If you  have  the cash  and  the inclination  --  the pure
    bloodlust to own this,  damn the cost! --  it probably is, but  having
    that crazed collector mentality will is essential to shelling out that
    price. But if it can be found at an affordable price, by all means get
    it. [Finally, Back to the Story did show up in a much more  affordable
    Zonophone edition in 2007.]
