Todd Rundgren

Richard Allinson and Steve Levine profile the production work of Todd Rundgren, with contributions from Ron and Russell Mael of Sparks, Tom Robinson and XTC's Andy Partridge.

On this edition of The Record Producers, Richard Allinson and Steve Levine profile the work of an arranger, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and artist in his own right - Todd Rundgren.

The Philadelphia-born producer has had parallel careers as band member, solo musician and producer throughout his career and worked with a wide range of artists from Canadian folk singers to Japanese techno-pop and from southern blues artists to Californian punk bands.

Featuring music from New York Dolls, Utopia and Badfinger; as well as specially recorded interviews with Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks, XTC's Andy Partridge, Tom Robinson and Todd himself; Richard and Steve examine just a portion of work that has made him such a prolific figure in the music industry for the past 40 years.

The programme also includes exclusive access to the multi-track recording of the title track to his most successful record as a producer - Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell.
