A Cappella / Nearly Human / Second Wind
Digitally remastered two CD set containing a trio of albums from the veteran singer, songwriter, producer and Pop music pioneer. When Bearsville Records closed it's doors in 1984, and Utopia split up, Todd signed with Warner Brothers. His deal allowed him to record whatever he wanted, and allowed Warner's to release only what they thought was commercial. This Edsel package brings together all three difficult-to-find albums that were issued on Warner's, in 1985, 1989 and 1991. a Capella is purely the sound of Todd's voice, often imitating instruments, on a wide variety of songs. By contrast Nearly Human was recorded live in the studio with a large ensemble and guests like Bobby Womack and Narada Michael Walden. Second Wind was recorded live in a San Francisco theatre, again with a large ensemble, in front of an audience who were told to keep quiet. The package 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. Edsel Records. 2012.
