For awhile there, ol' Pete had a pretty nifty solo career going. Who Came First, his 1972 solo debut, sidestepped comparisons to the Who by tackling spiritual themes with low-key charm, qualities that resurfaced on Rough Mix, his wonderful 1977 duo record with Ronnie Lane.

Meaning this solo overview ain't half bad and is mostly very good. --Steven Stolder

The original release had a gatefold cover and included a poster with additional photos of Meher Baba from the Louis van Gasteren film Beyond Words. The cover photo of Townshend standing on eggs is a reference to the eternal question: 'Who came first? The chicken or the egg.' It peaked at number 30 on the UK album chart and at number 69 on the US Billboard 200. We celebrate the 45th Anniversary with a 2CD expanded version of the al... [Read More]
