Description

A sprawling, genre-hopping masterpiece from one of rock’s most idiosyncratic auteurs, Something/Anything? remains Todd Rundgren’s magnum opus. Originally released in 1972, this remastered 2×LP edition on heavyweight vinyl restores the album’s sonic clarity and dynamic range, housed in a tip-on gatefold sleeve with a lyric/photo insert.

Recorded almost entirely solo by Rundgren (except for side four’s live band cuts), the album traverses power pop (I Saw The Light), baroque balladry (It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference), psychedelic excursions (The Night The Carousel Burned Down), and proto-punk irreverence (Slut). It’s a tour de force of studio wizardry and melodic invention.
