Willard's Wormholes

Pete Townshend’s rarest official releases, issued between 1970 and 1976 to celebrate his spiritual mentor, Meher Baba. Originally, only about 2,500 of each of these Lps were pressed on the Universal Spiritual League label (and later re-issued on the Meher Baba Organization label). Out of print for decades, they were gathered into a 2CD set and (briefly) made available at Townshend’s Eel Pie website. Each release features Townshend’s demo work from the Lifehouse sessions and his first solo album, Who Came First, along with the music of friends and fellow converts, Ronnie Lane, Ron Geesin, Mike Da Costa, Billy Nichols and others. With the spoken word segments, chants, random sitar backing and instrumental offerings, you’ll get your share of psychedelic moments from these LPs – along with some great work from Townshend in his prime. Ancient shares, thanks to whomever. More @ AMG.
