TODD RUNDGREN-A WIZARD, A TRUE STAR-1973 UK LP-BEARSVILLE BR 2133

I am selling around 200 records that were owned by singer/songwriter,John Cooper. John wrote songs that were used on Jimmy Webb albums and he was also close friends with folk/blues guitarist, Davy Graham.

John sadly passed away recently and his family have asked me to sell some of his record collection so they can donate the proceeds to the Ayrshire hospice, who looked after John in the last few months before his demise.

The record collection includes many rare folk, blues and rock albums,EP's and singles from the 60's and 70's in varying conditions. Please bookmark me over the next few months as I plough through the records. 

TODD RUNDGREN-A WIZARD, A TRUE STAR-1973 UK LP-BEARSVILLE BR 2133

A groove of songs hallucinating, a future that was already in the past. And enough. Mixtures, multi-colour, multi-brain detonations are the best ways to describe this living album (the actual cover artwork from Arthur Wood sums up this album and the great mind of his author in a few words), but, unless you're eccentric individualist, may confuse you and not make much sense at first listen. But Todd Rundgren leaves no room for doubt: an album that ranges from Cosmic Jokers to Donovan from Blue Oyster Cult to David Bowie, from Frank Zappa to Pink Floyd.
