@tatunkha Nice to hear from you! I remember thinking when it was announced that Jeff Lynne was joining The Move: "Something brilliant's going to happen" And it did...It is so easy to re-write the musical history of the time in favour of the big guns, but the Wood-Lynne 'axis' produced some truly brilliant (and underated) music. I think Birmingham's contribution to the period has suffered at the hands of London and Liverpool! It is so significant that George Harrison worked with JL for so long!

This is better than ANYTHING ELO has ever done. And I like ELO.

I saw Idle Race live in October 1969 at York University. They played the freshers night disco on the same bill as King Crimson. King Crimson were relatively unknown at the time. This track, Days of Broken Arrows, was on the jukebox in the college bar throughout 1970. This is the first time I've heard it in 40 years. Spooky.

Wow! This is the first time I've really paid any attention to Jeff Lynne's early work with his pre-move/Elo outfit. Good stuff! And why this song didn't get a mid-70's ELO re-make like the Move's "Do Ya" had, I'll never understand after hearing it. It would've fit perfectly on 'Face The Music" or "New World Record", and I can sooo hear the patented Jeff Lynne/Louis Clark string-and-choir arrangement underneath.
