I have an original pressing which is slightly warped but plays fine. This remaster is 180 grams and perfectly flat and pressed on extremely quiet vinyl actually CD quiet! It's an improvement in every way - smoother treble fleshed out bass and more transparent - over all one of my favourite Todd albums! You can't lose!

This review is of catalog number FRM-25881 pressed on bright yellow vinyl and mastered by Joe Reagoso. As with the two LP set of “A Wizard, A True Star,” this is an impressive re-release of a classic record. The fidelity is huge, broad, and deep. What a chorus! Soulful and exhilarating. Some of Todd’s best singing. A departure from earlier releases where he played all the instruments himself, this is a capture of a studio packed with formidable musicians doing it all with a minimum of overdubs. So refreshing and so different from all the autotuned and processed stuff masquerading as music now. This will shake the doldrums out of your loudspeakers and your soul. Beautiful pressing. No surface noise and the wild yellow vinyl is a real eyecatcher. Dare we hope that someday we get the same fabulous upgrade for “Faithful” or “Healing?” I hope so. If so, I’m there. If you're a Todd fan with a turntable, buy it. If you're a Todd fan without a turntable, buy one, and then buy this. You won’t regret it.
Todd Rundgren is an original and extraordinary talent and has been producing and making his music for over five decades. This is one of his absolute best. I invite you to listen to this fantastically written, performed, and produced Album/CD. He never gets old.
