Initation / Faithful

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of albums from the singer, songwriter and producer. 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. Faithful (1976) features a side of cover versions of '60s classics while the second half of the album is classic Rundgren solo material. Edsel.
