Back to the Story

Back to the Story is a 2-CD compilation set by Sixties/Seventies band The Idle Race released in 1996 on EMI's short-lived Premier series. It contains all three official studio albums, non-album singles and B-sides. The original edition's second CD included the earliest known tracks featuring Jeff Lynne in The Nightriders. In 2007, the set was re-released on EMI's newly reconstituted Zonophone label minus the Nightriders tracks. In 2013 the compilation was again re-released, this time on Warner Music Group's Parlophone label, also without the Nightriders tracks.
