‘A Wizard, A True Star’ ist Rundgrens psychedelisches Konzept-Album
mit insgesamt 19 Tracks, die damals auf einer LP erschienen. Neben
den Über-Songs ‘Sometimes I Don’t Know What To Feel‘ und ‘Zen Archer’
gibt es das legendäre 10-minütige Soul-Medley, und den Song der bis
heute den Schlusspunkt eines jeden Todd Rundgren-Gigs markiert: ‘Just
One Victory‘. Gäste waren u. a. Mike und Randy Brecker.
Auf dem ursprünglich als Doppel-LP erschienenen ‘Todd‘ experimentierte der Künstler mit neuen Synthesizer-Sounds (‘The Spark Of Life‘), streute aber immer wieder Rock (‘Heavy Metal Kids‘) oder Novelty (‘An Elpee’s Worth Of Toons‘) ein. Krönender Abschluss: das wunderbare aus zwei unterschiedlichen Live-Aufnahmen zusammengestellte ‘Sons Of 1984‘. Das ikonenhafte Artwork ist wohl jenes, an das sich bis heute die meisten Musikfans erinnern.
“A Wizard, A True Star” (1973) is Rundgren’s psychedelic masterpiece. By his own admission written and recorded under the influences of psychedelic drugs, the album features two LP side-long streams of consciousness, all segued together.
• The twelve tracks on the original side one veer from electronic fanfares to heavy metal to pop ballads to jazz rock to vaudeville, and even take in a cover of “Never Never Land” (from Disney’s “Peter Pan”). Side two is more soulful, including the classic “Sometimes I Don’t Know What To Feel” and the 10-minute soul medley. This features songs by Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson and Thom Bell, and contributions from Mike and Randy Brecker. The album closer is Todd’s anthem “Just One Victory”, still the final song at every Rundgren concert to this day.
• Two LP set “Todd” (1974) explored synthesizer experimentation more on extraordinary tracks like “The Spark Of Life”, but still found room for hit single “A Dream Goes On Forever”, guitar rock ballad “The Last Ride”, metal anthem “Heavy Metal Kids”, novelty song “An Elpee’s Worth Of Toons” and a cover of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Lord Chancellor’s Nightmare Song”!
• The bonus tracks are live performances of “Ooh Baby Baby” from 1971 and “A Dream Goes On Forever” and a cover of The Move’s “Do Ya” from 1975.
• 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”.
