		Pete Townshend's first solo album is a homespun, charming forum for low-key, personal songs that weren't deemed suitable for The Who, as well as spiritual paeans (direct and indirect) to his spiritual guru Meher Baba.
		The follow up release to 1983's Scoop success, built on that album's reputation for bringing Pete Townshend's demo's to the public.
		The set contains 27 demo recordings of Pete Townshend, many of which were later recorded by The Who.

	Pete Townshend
		Pete's first solo album was, in fact, an album for his stupid Maharishi, guru of some dumbass religion he was into at the time (for more on dumbass religions, see Adam Yauch and Creed).
		As for the "film written by Pete Townshend, directed and adapted for longform video by Richard Lowenstein and based on this record," your guess is as good as (land) mine.
		I've read somwhere that Pete saved his best songs for his solo albums instead of the Who albums of the early 80's.

	Amazon.com: Quadrophenia: Music: Pete Townshend,Chris Stainton
		Peter Townshend wrote all the songs, and never before had he put together such a continuous package of solid arrangements with such strong emotions bursting through in every song.
		This is Pete Townshend's most concise work as a musical story teller.
		An excellent and frequently astonishing album, Quadrophenia is both more ambitious and less accessible than Tommy, the first and most well known rock opera.

	Pete Townshend gets old before he dies
		In any event, because he is Pete Townshend (i.e., a man with a well-deserved and long-standing reputation for hard work, honesty and sticking to his guns), you'd think that he'd be cool about it if he ever needed to resort to selling his songs to advertisers.
		But Pete Townshend's zeal for commercializing his songs is a real shock.
		His music didn't change from album to album.

	Blogcritics.org: Home Music Recording, And The Album That Launched It
		In 1983, Pete Townshend released a double-album called Scoop, the first of a trilogy (plus a best-of set) of releases featuring his home recordings.
		Pete is a genius yes, but in addition, a very gritty do-it-yourselfer who had enormous amounts of ambition.
		The recordings on the Scoop series are notable for a number of reasons--they highlight Townshend's sheer love of music and the recording process, and they allow him to release material too different (either stylistically, or because it's too light or ephemeral) to appear on any of the Who's albums, or his regular solo albums.

		The group -- which now consists of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend backed by bassist Pino Palladino, keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick, drummer Zak Starkey and guitarist (and Pete's brother) Simon Townshend -- was forced to take a hiatus in 2005 due to Starkey's touring commitments with Oasis and Palladino's stint with the John Mayer Trio.
		There's no word on whether the summer tour will feature new songs, but in March guitarist Pete Townshend posted in his online diary, "I feel I can't tour any more with the Who without a new record."
		Townshend's girlfriend, singer-songwriter Rachel Fuller, may open some dates on the tour.

	Gold by Pete Townshend CD
		While most of Universal's excellent GOLD collections present an artist's output in tidy chronological order, the Pete Townshend installment of the series breaks with that tradition, offering a seemingly random two-disc sampling of the Who mastermind's solo output.
		The 34-track compilation also includes songs from Townshend's first solo outing, '72's WHO CAME FIRST, and '77's ROUGH MIX, his excellent collaborative album with former Small Faces bassist Ronnie Lane.
		Throughout the highly eclectic GOLD, the constants are, of course, Townshend's plaintive voice and his distinctive guitar playing, which ranges from delicate acoustic lines to bombastic Who-worthy electric leads.

	Lifehouse (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was abandoned as a double album rock opera in favor of creating the traditional rock album, Who's Next, though its songs would appear on various Who albums, singles, and Pete Townshend solo albums.
		This list includes other related albums by The Who, and by Pete Townshend, as well as other albums that inspired Pete Townshend, albums which highlight the music scene at the time, and albums which follow a similar concept.
		At the climax of the album, the authorities have surrounded the Lifehouse; then the perfect note rings forth through the combination of everybody's songs, they storm the place to find everybody has disappeared through a sort of musical Nirvana, and the people observing the concert through their lifesuits have vanished as well.

	DevASP It's Hard Book - B000002P6S
		However, guitarist Pete Townshend was fighting his crippling addictions to heroin and alcohol.
		Not really a warning to his fans, but a lament of a tired old man. Was Townshend unkowingly reminding us that the revels in youth deteriorate to a bitter end in life?
		Listen to the tracks in their proper context and you will find at least half of the tracks are as good as anything Townshend had ever written for the band.

	Pete Townshend: Behind Chinese Eyes: 1982 Interview Part 1
		But the reborn Pete Townshend still thrives on contradictions: he is the original Brit Rebel- doesn't believe in revolution, the angry young artist excoriating the establishment- then hangs out with aristocracy and claims the only way to change things is by joining the infrastructure.
		Townshend's professed passion of the moment is for politics- specifically, his voice is raised in anger and bitterness as he speaks of his responsibility as a public figure to speak out against the nuclear arms race.
		Townshend is the first to admit that the Who have been a relatively ineffective medium over the last few years.

		Daltrey and Townshend may be getting together for the first Who studio album in over two decades.
		The possible new album, Townshend says, would not be a rock opera like the band's "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia." A concept-less album, he says "is, in itself, a concept for me."

	Not Fade Away
		Now that Lifehouse has come to life in the form of two albums-the Lifehouse Chronicles boxed set and the truncated Lifehouse Elements—Townshend's work now is back with the Who, the object of a publicly played out love/hate relationship and more splits and make-ups than a season of the The Honeymooners.

	Amazon.com: The Iron Man: A Musical: Music
		This Pete Townshend album is essentially the musical he wrote to the book "The Iron Man" by English poet laureate Ted Hughes.
		A lot of people who don't like this album seem not to grasp that it was based on a childrens' story by British poet laureate Ted Hughes, not intended as a serious mature album for adults.
		Townshend's musical version of Ted Hughes' Iron Man (the source for the movie, The Iron Giant) is an interesting, but essentially flawed attempt at bringing the story to life.

	The Who - Quadrophenia
		The album that brought back Vespa scooters, parkas and uppers: Pete Townshend took a look at the Who's roots in the London mod scene of the early Sixties and composed this expansive, messy rock opera about a lonely teenage boy looking for love in the city.
		It is his mastermind that has created the tour-de-force recording breakthroughs of the album, the realistic and panoramic landscape of pre-Carnaby Street England, arranged the setting so that each member of the band could give full vent to his vaunted and highly unique instrumental prowess.
		Ironically, this is a finely produced album, with a sound that is both hard and lush, and Roger Daltrey seemed to achieve a larger-than-life performance as the embattled mod Jimmy.
