Wie bei so oft in Todd Rundgrens Karriere, konnte der Musiker auch mit
seinem 1975er Album ‘Initiation‘ einen Rekord aufstellen: das längste
bis dato veröffentlichte Album auf einer LP (68 Minuten). Los geht‘s dann
auch erstmal mit der formidablen, vom Philly Soul inspirierten Hymne
‘Real Man‘. Gäste waren Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, Dan Hartman
und David Sanborn mit einem Sax-Solo auf dem Titelsong.
‘Faithful‘ (1976) versteht sich auf Seite 1 als Tribute-Album an jene Musiker die Todd Rundgren beeinflusst haben. Beach Boys, Yardbirds, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix oder Bob Dyland werden vom Meister mit Coversongs gewürdigt, während er auf der zweiten Hälfte des Albums mit Eigenkompositionen wie ‘The Verb To Love‘ brilliert.
When it was issued in 1975, at 68 minutes, “Initiation” was the longest album ever on one piece of vinyl. It starts with Todd’s classic Philly soul single “Real Man” and continues with the a cappella “Born To Synthesize”, heavily sampled for Simian Mobile Disco’s “Synthesize”. Soul ballad “Fair Warning” features Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer and Dan Hartman, while the title track features an amazing solo from sax legend David Sanborn.
• The entirety of side two was taken up with the 36 minute synthesizer extravaganza “A Treatise On Cosmic Fire”, which broke new ground in its use of technology for creating music. It also marked the first appearance of future Utopia keyboard player Roger Powell.
• On “Faithful” (1976) Todd pays homage to the artists and songs that influenced him when he turned professional in 1966 at the age of 18. Starting appropriately with The Yardbirds’ “Happening Ten Years Time Ago” (Jeff Beck’s guitar style was big influence), Todd continues with the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and two John Lennon Beatles songs, all originally issued in 1966. And these are not cover versions, they are note- and sound-perfect faithful reproductions.
• Side two of “Faithful” featured six new Rundgren originals, including perhaps his best Philly soul ballad “The Verb ‘To Love’”, and two more perennial concert favourites in “Cliché” and “Love Of The Common Man”.The bonus track is a live Utopia recording of The Nazz’s “Open My Eyes”.
• The package contains ephemera and rare photos, all the lyrics, and extensive notes by Paul Myers, extracted from his recent definitive book on Todd Rundgren “A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio”.
