For Lack Of Honest Work is just the beginning of what is to be the new Todd Rundgren officially sanctioned bootleg releases.
Featuring performances throughout the United States, Europe and Asia and spanning 4 decades over 3 discs (3 volumes) “For Lack Of Honest Work” is the ultimate live bootleg experience and the 1st officially authorized Todd Rundgren bootleg compilation.
Volume 1 from the opening “It Wouldn’t Make and Difference” to the closing “Hello It’s Me”, is a collection of songs guaranteed to make you get over heartbreak. Volume 2 is an amalgam of synthesized soul “Born To Synthesize”, progressive “Mr Triscuits”, glam rock “The Seven Rays” and pop rock “I Saw The Light”, showcasing his lyrical genius and residual elements of smokey, gut-wrenching, love me or leave me soul. Volume 3 illustrates Rundgren’s musicial mastery and offers raw insight into his talent and state of being through the third and fourth decades of his career with favorites such as “Bang On The Drum”, “Lysistrata” and “”One World”.
With the release of “For Lack Of Honest Work” this set represents the first step in a partnership between Todd and Micro Werks that will see the release of full Todd Rundgren shows in the future, including the powerful concerts encompassed in “For Lack Of Honest Work” and all the tracks have been newly re-mastered.
In order to experience its total awe-inspiring effect, “For Lack Of Honest Work”, should be played regularly either with headphones securely planted or blasting from speakers at the highest decibel level so as not to miss a note.
“For Lack Of Honest Work” also features cover artwork designed by illustrator William Stout, internationally renowned as one of the first rock ‘n’ roll bootleg cover artists.

I'm listening to the second disc in this collection at this moment after hearing the first. All I can say is the songs weren't chosen because of great performances. On Disc 1, Todd's voice is very rough to say the least. The vocal harmonies are downright terrible at times.
On Disc 2 During the song "The Seven Rays" Todd is struck with the giggles and the whole song is just hanging by a thread.
The packaging is oversize so it won't fit on the shelves where the rest of my standard size cds are kept. You could have fit at least 4or 5 cds in the package with all the unused space left over.
I would have prefered performances that were stellar rather than the sloppy, mistake filled versions included in this dismal collection.
Sounds absolutely great. I think everyone would like to know when these songs were recorded, and the band. (though we can guess at that)
Hi, Todd, from Havetown, not too far from your old stomping grounds. C. Miller.
Havertown, that is.
