Nobody apart from aficionados remembers that what’s considered Todd Rundgren‘s initial brace of albums was actually issued as platters credited to a band called RUNT which the singer fronted, and it wasn’t until 1972’s “Something/Anything?” that he emerged as a solo artist. A lot of material the American ensemble used to perform didn’t make it to the confusingly titled “Runt” and “Runt. The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren”; a few of those tracks debuted on "Box O'Todd" ten years ago, yet most remained in the shelf. But now a recording of Rundgren’s concert from June 30th, 1971, staged at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia is ready for release.
