Bob has some vintage Todd Rundgren from 1975 for 'The Best of the Test'.

Bob returns with another trip through the musical gems of the best decade!

Todd Rundgren's musical creativity and showmanship served him well in the 1970s, from the well known 'Hello It's Me' and 'I Saw the Light' to the prog sounds of Utopia and to production duties later in the decade with Meatloaf for the epic 'Bat Out of Hell'.

For this show, Bob is featuring some live Todd for 'The Best of the Test', from 1975.

Also on the show, Bob's got more from his 'Rock Date Diary' and another 1970s 'Country Classic'.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
