A Wizard, A True Star

Famed producer extraordinaire (Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell", XTC, Psychedelic Furs, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, The Tubes, Hall & Oates, Steve Hillage etc) Todd Rundgren has always maintained his own highly successful parallel recording career, encompassing a wide range of musical styles. "A Wizard, A True Star" (1973) is Rundgren's psychedelic masterpiece. By his own admission, written and recorded under the influence of psychedelic drugs, the album features two LP side-long streams of consciousness, all segued together, veering from Disney to Curtis Mayfield to the perennial Todd anthem "Just One Victory". This new deluxe casebound book edition contains all the lyrics, and extensive notes by Paul Myers, extracted from his definitive book on Todd Rundgren "A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio".
