WHO CAME FIRST

Who Came First


"When Pete Townshend released WHO CAME FIRST -- his first commercial venture outside of the Who -- in 1972, the impetus could not have been further from vanity, even if he did joke that he did nearly everything on the record (except making the tea) "in one gynormouse ego trip." The albums specific purpose was as an expression of faith and love, a humble homage to Meher Baba, whom Townshend had publicly declared as his Avatar (a Hindu term meaning the earthly incarnation of a deity) on the back cover of TOMMY, three years earlier."
