Original US LP released in 1976 on Bearsville Records. Cat: BR6963. Comes with original cream cardboard inner sleeve which has some light age marks and is in Excellent condition. Also has original hype sticker with track listing and Cat. number on it. Features lightly texctured cover.
Todd Rundgren considered 1966 the beginning of his professional musical career, largely because the Nazz formed around that time. As a celebration, he recorded Faithful. Presumably, Faithful celebrates the past and the future by juxtaposing a side of original pop material with a side of covers. Actually, "covers" isn't accurate -- the six oldies that comprise the entirety of side one are re-creations, with Rundgren "faithfully" replicating the sound and feel of the Yardbirds ("Happenings Ten Years Time Ago"), Bob Dylan ("Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine"), Jimi Hendrix ("If Six Was Nine"), the Beach Boys ("Good Vibrations") and the Beatles "("Rain," "Strawberry Fields Forever"). All of this is entertaining, to a certain extent, especially since it's remarkable how close Rundgren comes to duplicating the very feel of the originals. Still, it's hard to see it as much more than a flamboyant throwaway, especially when compared with the glorious second side. For the first time since Something/Anything?, Rundgren allows himself to write and more importantly record straight-ahead pop songs.
Tracks : Happenings ten years time ago/ Good vibrations/ Rain/ Most likely you go your way and i'll go mine/ If six was nine/ Strawberry fields forever/ Black and white/ Love of the common man/ When I pray/ Cliche/ The verb "To love"/ Boogies (Hamburger hell).
