Todd Rundgren's Initiation, originally released in 1975, stands as one of his most ambitious and boundary-pushing works, blending progressive rock with bold synthesizers and deeply mystical themes. At 67 minutes, the album famously defied the conventional limits of vinyl, anchored by the epic 36-minute instrumental "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire" that fills an entire side on its own.
This 2025 Record Store Day exclusive from Rhino brings Initiation back to vinyl in a limited pressing of just 3,500 copies on color vinyl across two LPs, making it a must-have for Rundgren devotees and progressive rock collectors alike. The double LP format gives this sprawling, adventurous record the space it deserves, allowing listeners to fully experience one of Rundgren's most daring and celebrated artistic statements.
