    Beautiful pressing!

    Did anyone happen to mail in the post card with their name on it for Todd to put in his next album? Curious how that turned out-wondering if it’s not too late at the time of writing this 👀

      This was always one of the worst sounding albums from Todd. Way too much music for one disk. The sound on this is ok but nothing more. This needs to be a two record set before any accomplished sound improvement happens

        Should have been a double album words words words words

          I purchased a copy of this a couple of weeks ago, new and sealed. The album has Side 2 labels on both sides, but the pressings are Side 1 and Side 2. Wondering if anyone else had this factory error? Thank you, Jay

            Todd's masterpiece. Really happy with this press. It sounds clear and well defined (well, as much as this psych odyssey can). It may be lower in volume than the Friday Music version, but I prefer not having to flip it over 3 times. Also, no arbitrary new interpretation of where to divide the songs for 2 LPs. The inserts are nice, but the sleeve feels flimsy. Anybody with an OG care to comment on that?

              Until someone does a 2 LP version, this is the pressing to own. Never going to be an audiophile masterpiece soundwise, but this is the best it has sounded so far. Undervalued from that perspective.

                Sounds like an improvement over my Original pressing. Chris Bellman cuts of Todd Rundgren albums are pretty much can't miss so far.

                  I think every Todd Rundgren pressing I’ve ever had sounds bright and overly aggressive. I guess that was his preference. This pressing is enjoyable but also a bit hot in places.

                    Sounds great, looks amazing held up under light. Appreciate the original die cut packaging and inserts.

                      I hesitated because it's a single LP but the packaging looked spot on so I bought it. Glad I did. Seeing Chris Bellman's initials in the dead wax was a relief. Sounds great.
