1972 saw pop/rock songwriter and producer Todd Rundgren take on an incredibly ambitious project and his most famous work, the double album Something/Anything?. Most know the album for the pop hits, “I Saw The Light” and “It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference”, but the album is far more than pop hits. It is an eclectic mix of pop, rock, Motown, light, heavy, and everything in between. Few albums in pop and rock history display such a breadth of musical styles, thus showcasing Rundgren’s creative brilliance (he was just 23 upon its release). There’s something for everyone on Something/Anything?. The title fits.

This double album made its debut on CD in the late 1980s. In Japan, Something/Anything? was released in 1988 on the Bearsville label by Victor Musical Industries under catalog number VDP-9023~4 (i.e., Disc 1 is VDP-9023 and Disc 2 is VDP-9024). This CD set was released in the original style “fat” two-disc jewel case, with front and back inserts. The booklet is housed in a central section inside the jewel case between the two discs.

The Something/Anything? discs were pressed by JVC and have the typical “later” JVC matrix code font of thick characters that became commonplace in the late ’80s. The matrix codes for Discs 1 and 2 are “VDP-9023-1-A1C 1” and “VDP-9024-1-A1C 1”, respectively. The disc labels have black text on an orange paint coating. The discs and inserts show a phonogram date of 1988. The back insert shows the retail price to be ¥4,800 (Japanese yen).

The particular copy of Something/Anything? shown here is a promotional issue, as evidenced by the text “SAMPLE” printed in red in the mirror band of each disc. Additionally, a Japanese promotional sticker is adhered over the barcode on the back insert. With the exception of these promotional markings, this copy of Something/Anything? is identical to the standard version sold at retail.
