Notes:  Todd Rundgren, alone or with his band, is always interesting at least. This record appears to be in the same vein as the Rutles. Is incorporates very 60's,  Beatle-like structures and sounds into its body and produces a very listenable record. It's one of those that while you are listening you stop and ponder, "now where have I heard that before?". A master technician and producer to many other artists, Todd never fails to bring a smile to my face with his own music. And the back cover is a bad pun, what more can you ask for?
