Who Came First
''Who Came First'' is the debut album by Pete Townshend, released in 1972 on Track Records in the UK and Track/Decca in the US. It includes demos from the aborted concept album ''Lifehouse'', part of which became ''Who's Next''. 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''. It peaked at number 30 on the UK album chart and at number 69 on the US ''Billboard'' 200.〔(UK Chart Stats )〕
==Background and content==
Townshend had already participated with other artists on two previous albums in tribute to his Avatar Meher Baba, ''Happy Birthday'' and ''I Am''. These albums were privately distributed in very small quantities between 1970 and 1972 in the UK. Soon after Decca asked Townshend for release rights, as inferior copies were circulating in the US as bootlegs. Rather than re-issuing the original albums Townshend decided to change the track list substantially for his first "official" solo album.
The songs were recorded at Townshend's home studio, which was among the most advanced home studios in England at the time. Two songs each from the earlier albums appear on ''Who Came First'', including the contributions by Ronnie Lane and Billy Nicholls, "Evolution" and "Forever's No Time at All". Townshend's "Content" had been issued on ''Happy Birthday'' and "Parvardigar" had appeared on ''I Am''.
The demos "Pure and Easy" and "Let's See Action" had been recorded by The Who for ''Lifehouse'', but were not used for ''Who's Next''. Both versions by the Who would be released, "Let's See Action" as a single in 1971, making it to number 16 on the British singles chart, and "Pure and Easy" on ''Odds & Sods'' in 1974. "Evolution" by Lane is a reworking of the track "Stone" which had appeared on The Faces' debut album ''First Step'' in 1970. "There's a Heartache Following Me" had been a UK number 6 hit in 1964 by the American country singer Jim Reeves. Townshend does not appear on the Nicholls track, but does play guitar on the Lane track; he plays all other instruments on the remainder of the album. One dollar from each sale of the 1972 album went to charities.
