Another classic Perry,tell me,where the hell did you get the Todd track? Ive been listening to him for 38 years & I ain't ever heard that one before.
Perry responds:
Stef,
Well I am sure you have heard the finished version, that appeared on the first M. Frog (Labat) record? Incredibly rare for years (as was the first Roger Powell album "Cosmic Furnace") but now both re-issued.
The Todd demo is for the unreleased album "Froggy Goes A Pumpkin." If you know anything about Todd's multi-instrumental prowess, it is clearly Todd on drums. And he takes the song writing credit, while Labat takes it on the TR recorded solo M. Frog album.
Here's more:
"The first unreleased album "Froggy Went A Pumpkin!" is a collection of ten demo's Rundgren made for and together with M. Frog Labat, the French synth-player appearing on Todd Rundgren's Utopia (1974). The tracks, recorded in 1973, perfectly display the simple but solid rockbeat sound of that time: get the house rockin'! With M. Frog Labat, leaving his synths behind and doing the groaning, barking and screaming and Todd rocking the guitar a bigger contrast with the first Utopia album is hardly imaginable. I wonder if Todd also played the drums, as The Nippon Crown commentary suggests, it wouldn't surprise me if it were Kevin Ellman.
