Spin CD (jeez I really should buy something from them someday as much as I cite them) posted a new Todd Rundgren release scheduled for October 27, 2014. It is Todd Rundgren at the BBC: 1972 - 1982, an Estoteric Records release, so it is legitimate. The package is a 3 CD / 1 DVD release, compromising Todd's work on the BBC. The concept mimics last year's Be Bop Deluxe Live At The BBC 1974 - 1978 set up, right down to the clamshell packaging. I'm too lazy to post track listings yet, but will hopefully get around to it eventually. The bulk of the collection does appear to be Utopia based, but a '72 solo Todd set does start things off. The Spin CD price is around 25-30 pounds.

Product Description
Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the first ever official release of TODD RUNDGREN AT THE BBC. This four-disc collection comprises three CDs and a DVD (NTSC / Region Free) featuring all of the surviving radio and television broadcasts in the BBC archive transmitted on radio and television in the UK between 1972 and 1982.

The set features on CD Todd’s solo 1972 BBC Radio One “In Concert” performance, recorded soon after the release of his seminal album “Something Anything”, the classic 1975 performance by Todd Rundgren and Utopia at Hammersmith Odeon, London, (including a previously unreleased track ‘Something’s Coming’) – on the first ever UK concert tour of Todd Rundgren and Utopia, a 1977 performance at the Oxford Polytechnic by Todd Rundgren and Utopia (promoting the “Ra”) album, and a DVD featuring three different performances for the classic “Old Grey Whistle Test” series; the 1975 Todd Rundgren and Utopia session, a film of Todd Rundgren & Utopia at the Bearsville Picnic in 1977 (performing ‘Singring and the Glass Guitar’) and the entire recordings made for a 1982 solo Todd Rundgren Whistle Test special (including two songs not featured on the original TV broadcast).

This set is sure to delight the legions of Todd Rundgren fans and is a superb document of Todd’s continuing development as both a solo artist and with his band Utopia between 1972 and 1982.

“Todd Rundgren at the BBC” has been remastered and authored from the original BBC masters and is presented in a clamshell box with a booklet featuring a new essay.

Paul.

I've added that info along with the Amazon link.

This set looks real good. CD 3 which includes tracks from my personal fave "RA" album and the decent price for the set makes this a purchase.
