Todd Rundgren – Faithful (LP Vinyl)

Todd Rundgren has always operated on a different plane than his contemporaries, and *Faithful* from 1976 stands as one of his most audacious creative statements. Side one is a note-for-note recreation of six classic tracks including the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" and Hendrix's "If 6 Was 9," executed with obsessive precision as a meditation on what fidelity even means; side two delivers six originals that prove Rundgren needed no borrowed genius to hold his own.
