Todd Rundgreen

First album “Runt” (1970), features the hit pop single “We Gotta Get You A Woman” as well as the nine-minute rock epic “Birthday Carol”. The Band’s Levon Helm and Rick Danko play on “Once Burned”, while “There Are No Words” hints at future experimentation. Disc Two of this special Edsel re-issue features the entirety of the November 1970 miss-pressing of the album, including the otherwise unavailable songs “Say No More” and an uncut "Baby Let's Swing", an early version of “Hope I’m Around”, and several alternate mixes. The bonus track is a live performance.

"Todd Dillingham 'Collaborations 1990-2016' - A compilation of track's from Todd's incredible back-catalogue that he put together for us especially for the festival goodie-bag just a couple of months before his untimely death; Todd's wife Pam has very kindly agreed to let me go ahead with the CD - one small way of us remembering a lovely bloke."

After two albums, Todd Rundgren had one hit and a burgeoning cult following, plus growing respect as a hitmaking record producer. There's no question he was busy, but as it turns out, all this work only scratched the surface of his ambition….

This boxset showcases the complete collection of Rundgren’s finest work released on the exceptionally cool Bearsville label; all studio albums apart from the epic double live set Back to the Bars, all solo, no Utopia LPs.
A pop savant who fastidiously avoided easy categorization throughout the course of his career, Todd Rundgren straddled the gap separating a mainstream star from a cult figure. Rundgren had plenty of hits in the 1970s and '80s, many of them becoming enduring contemporary standards, such as the Carole King pastiche "I Saw the Light," the ballads "Hello, It's Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends," plus the goofy novelty "Bang on the Drum All Day."
