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”.
