5 LPs: Todd Rundgren: Initiation, Healing, The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect. Utopia: Oops Wrong Planet, Adventures In Utopia.

1) Todd Rundgren - Initiation. Bearsville K 55504. Original 1st Pressing 1975 UK. Inner.

Matrix: K 55504 A2 K 55504 B1

Disc Condition:
Audio: Some crackle throughout, more intrusive in some tracks than others, especially persistent during side two, odd click, baring in mind the inherent sound of this album, the audio sounds strong and clear with a well defined soundstage.
Visual: Visible mark through half of side two, light marks under bright light. Bright and clean.
Labels: Bright and clean.

Sleeve Condition:
Edges & corners slightly rubbed. Bright and clean.
Inner Sleeve: Original card lyric inner. Light marks. Bright and clean.

Always tricky finding a good sounding copy of this album, due to the length of the sides, the audio has a “thin” quality to it. Also copies played with a less than ideal stylus exhibit wear very easily, resulting in crackle or distortion at the end of sides. While this copy has crackle throughout, there is virtually no distortion. The audio sounds strong and clear with a well defined soundstage. A great listen.

2) Todd Rundgren - Healing. Bearsville ILPS 9657. Original 1st Pressing 1981 UK. Inner.

Matrix: ILPS 9657 A-1U ILPS B-1U

Disc Condition:
Audio: Some light crackle, odd clicks, audio is strong and clear with a well defined soundstage.
Visual: Just a few light marks under bright light. Bright and clean.
Labels: Bright and clean.

Sleeve Condition:
Edges & corners rubbed & worn, ring wear, small creases, marked. Not as bad as it looks in the photo!
Inner Sleeve: Original black inner. Creased, some marks, otherwise bright and clean.

Wear to sleeve but overall a great sounding copy, the audio is strong and clear with a well defined soundstage. A great listen.
