Who Came First is the debut solo studio album by the English musician Pete Townshend, 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. 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. The cover photo of Townshend standing on eggs is a reference to the eternal question "Which came first: the chicken or the egg?”. The album peaked at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart and at number 69 on the US Billboard 200.
