Billy Nichols, “Forever’s No Time at All” from Pete Townshend’s “Who Came First” 1972
I recall reading that after dropping acid and getting the feeling that he wasn’t in his body, #PeteTownshend went searching for something more. He became a follower of the teachings of Indian guru Meher Baba, sprinkling references in #TheWho's output and, with fellow-devotee chums, recording a couple of albums in his honor.
For Who Came First, regarded as his first solo release (get the cover pic pun?
), he took some tracks from those albums, tweaked some of his Lifehouse demos, and recorded some additional tracks. It’s all Pete except for a #RonnieLane track with Pete on guitar, and the Billy Nichols track where Pete doesn’t appear at all.
I love this album despite its demo-y feel (or maybe "because of,” in a pre-Scoop world?) because it's Pete; ironically I’m featuring its one Pete-free track, but it's a good one.

The Who Sell Out
The Who release their third album on December 15, 1967. It's a concept album many believe is their homage to pirate radio -- fancied by the mods of London in the 60's. It's #113 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. #thewho #thewhosellout #60srock #powerpop #pop #psychedelicrock #rogerdaltry #petetownshend #keithmoon #johnentwhistle Listen to The Who Sell Out on Amazon Music ...
