Maybe it's because I sat front row for Bacharach a few years ago and have seen Todd dozens of times, but this just doesn't get my adrenaline flowing. Good for TR, finding a way to make some cash, but I'm gonna pass.

Just picked the 24 bit / 192 khz files of Initiation.  I played it earlier today just because it was a good day for it.  A real guilty pleasure, the 1st issue Japanese white label promo copy.

Decided it was time to grab the new Machine Head files and went let's see if Todd had been updated recently, and he was.  Only 16 / 44.1 files before.

So I'm going through the specs and looked at the Editor's notes for the file album.  I already knew about the length problems and to tape it immediately and put it away because it would not take too many spins.  Knew about the EQ, yada.  Bought it day one when it came out.  But did not know about the times being sped up.  Or immediately learned and forgot it.

So I got to my favorite part of Treatise about 10 minutes in where he gets the Wurlitzer bouncing all over the place.  That is where I heard the difference.  Oh my !

The Editor's Notes :

Initiation is the sixth album by American musician Todd Rundgren, released May 23, 1975 on Bearsville Records. With this album, Rundgren fully embraced the synthesized prog sound he had begun exploring in more depth in his work with his band Utopia. However, unlike Utopia, in which Rundgren had limited himself to playing guitar, much of the synthesizers on Initiation were played and programmed by Rundgren himself.

At over sixty-seven minutes, Initiation is one of the longest commercially-released LPs. Due to a plastic shortage, in order to keep the album on one vinyl LP, Rundgren had to limit and EQ the master so the bass response was rolled off to keep the grooves small enough to cut onto a single disc; he also had to speed up the first half of Side One (Real Man-Eastern Intrigue) and speed up the entirety of Side Two to eliminate 2-3 minutes from each side. The album's original inner sleeve included a note which stated: "Technical note: Due to the amount of music on this disc (over one hour), two points must be emphasized. Firstly, if your needle is worn or damaged, it will ruin the disc immediately. Secondly, if the sound does seem not loud enough on your system, try re-recording the music onto tape. By the way, thanks for buying the album."


Going to take me awhile to work on this, but I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Going to load it up on foobar and listen to the whole thing now.  This is going to be fun.  Three thumbs up ! :)

edit:  And well into it now.  This is kinda like hearing Sgt Pepper on CD for the first time.  effing A

Cheers !

One of Todd's best albums! Treatise on Cosmic Fire is a joyous composition. Enjoy hearing it at it's finest audio level!

That was a great audience sing-along at the end of that show, went of for a good 3 minutes after the curtain closed.

Outstanding show! I was very impressed with 77 year old Denny Laine. He played a raucous Band on the Run and held his own with lead vocals on several Beatles tunes. Todd and the rest of the headliners/band were solid, though you could tell this was an early in the tour show with some hiccups. Joey Molland seems to be a rather humorous chap. Worth checking out if they take this to your neck of the woods.

I'm looking forward to Todd's Beatles tribute show to Revolver and Rubber Soul. He did a great job with the 50 year anniversary of The White Album and returns with pretty much the same lineup, save for a swap of Denny Laine from Mickey Dolenz.

And I'm still holding out hope for a Something/Anything 50 year anniversary tour.
