Todd Rundgren’s First Solo Concert Comes Out

March 26, 2026

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.

Iain Matthews’s Columbia Years Get Anthologized

March 22, 2026

One may argue that Iain Matthews‘s creative peak came in the early ’70s when – after spells at the fore of FAIRPORT CONVENTION, SOUTHERN COMFORT and PLAINSONG – the singer delighted his fans with "Tigers Will Survive" and a few other fine platters. However, Matthews’s later endeavors seemed consistently strong too, which is why a new box set, commemorating the half-century anniversary of his “Go For Broke” album, yet going way beyond it, feels more than welcome.
