Todd Rundgren ORIG US 2nd Press Runt VG+ '71 Bearsville A10105 Power Pop Rock
Original US 2nd Press LP released in 1971 on Bearsville Records. Cat: A10105.
Reluctant to start a full-fledged solo career after leaving the Nazz, Todd Rundgren formed Runt, a band that was a front for what was in effect a solo project. Such isolationism lends Runt its unique atmosphere it is the insular work of a fiercely talented artist finally given the opportunity to pursue his off-kilter musical vision. From the moment the slow, bluesy psychedelic grind of "Broke Down and Busted" starts the album, it's apparent that Rundgren could never have made Runt with the Nazz and that's before the introspective ballads or the willfully strange stuff kicks in. Throughout the record, Rundgren reveals himself as a gifted synthesist, blending all manners of musical styles and quirks into a distinctive signature sound. He's as interested in sound as he is in song and while he would later pursue these tendencies to extremes, Runt finds him learning how to create an effective sound with the studio, which may be the reason why the album runs the gamut from hard rockers like "Who's That Man?" to ballads like "Once Burned."
Tracks : Broken down and busted/ Believe in me/ We gotta get you a wman/ Who's that man/ Once burned/ Devil's bite/ I'm in the clique/ There are no words/ Baby, let's swing - The last thing you said - Don't tie my hands/ Birthday Carol/
