- The Idle Race were a British cult rock group from Birmingham in the late 1960s and early '70s. In addition to being the springboard for Jeff Lynne, the band holds a place of significance in British Midlands' rock history as a link between Electric Light Orchestra, The Move, the Steve Gibbons Band and Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders.
The core of the group, Nightriders 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, 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. During this period, Idle Race was also, as one member later termed it, a very "schizophrenic" band. While their records were awash in pop hooks, acid backdrops and lilting harmonies, they were a much heavier act in a live setting. Lynne's early trademark around the clubs and colleges was his ability to coax an unusual "violin" sound out of his guitar, while Masters would occasionally take a bow to his Hofner bass. In addition to original material, their set list included extended covers of Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Purple Haze," Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma," The Lemon Pipers' "Blueberry Blue," The Doors' "Love Me Two Times," and an electric version of "Debora" by Tyrannosaurus Rex. "Days of the Broken Arrows" appears on the album Back To The Story. i combined both versions to create one special long version. I created a stereo track from the original mono track. I restored them and remastered for best sound possible. I created this video and dubbed the new track over it. Hope you enjoy it! Note: Contains contains content

Great video !
The Idle Race was criminally underrated group in the late 1960´s.
Jeff Lynne made about 25 catchy songs
but no commercial success. Maybe they
were however too special to the major audience to understand.
This is one of the finest artifacts ever found on RUclips. Just outstanding in all respects, MoveJeffLynnElo, thanks a million.
I don't think this "Special Edition" is as good as the original single - the jangly guitar intro, which was one of the best parts of the track, is missing, and replaced by a raucous introduction
Agreed. This is interesting, but the other ‘official’ version is much, much better.
Mr Jeff Lynne,,my mom loved you,,,l do too,,you spoil us so much with your genius,,,thankyou sir,,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Super job.. And excellent song- Thanks
Holy shit! Sweet!
Idle Race were a great Band but They had no Success.
I can't unterstand why.
Great job! My favorite Idle Race track. Should have been a hit!
workin late enjoying listening to me dad n jeff et all .. nice mix
Es Excelente. Pensar que Jeff Lynne tenía sólo 19 años máximo, cuando creó esta joya!
Thanks. My favorite song by them.
Jeff Lynne never performed live Idle Race songs later in ELO or did he ?He has always been a bit guite of his brilliant Idle Race time when he becamea star in ELO. Or am I wrong ?
Excellent quality combined with an excellent song!
Very nice...big sound and great video...thx
its a very roy woodish vocal
Or did he think, Idle Race had its time, it´s now the Move and ELO.Refe´rring to my later message.
Probably. He was growing in his musical ability and had moved far ahead of idle race, and the move. This my opinion and it happens to be true. His greatest lover is named "music". He is brilliant.
Is GREG MASTERS still Alive ???🤔🤔🤔
I haven't heard of Greg Masters passing away yet.
I see this single and also Come With Me are fetching good money on ebay, should I sell my copies though?

Actually George Masters didn't join until 1963
Don't you mean Greg Masters? Greg was the last original member to leave The Idle Race in 1972, after he left the band changed it's name to The Steve Gibbons Band.
@@davidmacgregor5193 is GREG MASTERS still living???🤔🤔🤔
nah, the original version is better, this lacks spirit
Why don't you make your own music instead of spoiling classics that are already excellent? The video bit was however pretty good.
