Runt is the self-titled debut album of the band Runt, commercially released September 1970.[1] Runt was a trio consisting of Todd Rundgren (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Hunt Sales (drums), and Tony Fox Sales (bass). The entire album was written and produced by Rundgren, formerly of Nazz, and he performed most of the instruments. Many regarded Runt as Rundgren's debut solo album, and later reissues credit the album to Rundgren rather than to the group.

The album features the single "We Gotta Get You a Woman", which reached No. 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 in January 1971. A month later, the album peaked at No. 185 on the Billboard 200.[5]
