Rhino Reserve 180-Gram Vinyl LP

Runt arrives here in Rhino's Rhino Reserve series, one of 54 limited-edition titles Rhino issued for Rocktober 2026 through independent record stores. It is a single 180-gram LP. Retailer listings for this barcode state the lacquers were cut from the original analog master by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and the hype sticker on Rhino's product art names Fidelity Record Pressing in California as the plant. That sticker also calls the album the place "where power pop was born."

Ampex Records issued Runt in 1970 under the band name Runt: a trio with Hunt Sales on drums and Tony Sales on bass, though Rundgren, formerly of Nazz, wrote and produced every song and played most of the instruments. Sessions started at I.D. Sound in Los Angeles with Electric Prunes singer Jim Lowe engineering, then moved to the Record Plant in New York City with Jack Adams at the board.

"We Gotta Get You a Woman," inspired by his friend, music executive Paul Fishkin, became Rundgren's first hit, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1971; the album peaked at No. 185 on the Billboard 200 a month later. When Ampex repressed the LP in November 1970, a 12-track master Rundgren had rejected went to the plant by mistake, and roughly 5,000 of those copies were sold. This Rhino Reserve pressing carries the standard ten-track running order.
