  • Description

    First ever release outside of japan of the rare 1976 recording Disco Jets by Todd Rundgren & Utopia remastered from the original master tapes deluxe booklet with essay.

    Recorded in 1976 by Todd and his group Utopia, featuring John Siegler (Bass, Vocals), Roger Powell (Keyboards, Vocals) and Willie Wilcox (Drums).

    The Disco Jets sessions took place at Bearsville studios shortly after the release of Todd's Faithful album and was a purely instrumental affair recorded tongue in cheek with sights firmly set upon the current trends of the time such as the US Bi-Centennial celebrations, Disco music, Science Fiction movies such as Star Wars and the CB Radio fad.

    Featuring some memorable soloing from Rundgren and Powell, the impressive Space War and the memorable cover of the Star Trek theme, the Disco Jets project would languish in the vaults for several decades before appearing as part of a Japanese only compilation, now long deleted.
