THERE ONCE WAS A NOTE
PURE AND EASY
Who Came First
is the
debut studio album
by the English
musician
released in 1972
on Track Records
in the UK
and Track/Decca
in the US.
It includes
previously
released material
as well as tracks
that originated as demos
for the Who's
aborted concept album
Lifehouse,
which became the basis
of
Who's Next (1971).
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
(1997).
The cover photo
of Townshend standing
on eggs
is a reference to
the eternal question
"Which came first:
the chicken or the egg?”
although the
album title changes it to
"Who Came First"
as a reference to
the Townshend's band
the Who
The album peaked at
number 30
on the
UK Albums Chart
and at number 69
on the
US Billboard 200.
