Todd Rundgren / At The BBC 1972-82: four-disc box set

Esoteric Recordings will issue a new four-disc Todd Rundgren box next month, compiling all of the surviving radio and television broadcasts in the BBC archive transmitted in the UK between 1972 and 1982.

The 3CD+DVD set features a nine-song BBC Radio One In Concert performance, Todd Rundgren and Utopia at Hammersmith Odeon (on their first ever UK tour) and a 1977 performance at the Oxford Polytechnic.

The (NTSC, region-free) DVD features three performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test; the 1975 Todd Rundgren and Utopia session, a film of Todd Rundgren & Utopia at the Bearsville Picnic in 1977 (performing Singring and the Glass Guitar) and the entire recordings made for a 1982 solo Todd Rundgren Whistle Test special (including two songs not featured on the original TV broadcast).

At The BBC 1972-1982 is released on 27 October 2014. The set comes packaged in a clamshell box and features an illustrated booklet with essay.
