Pete Townshend - Sleeping Dog - Non-Album Tracks (1972-1976)

Pete Townshend made a huge number of demos over the years, many of them of songs never released on any Who album or his (non-archival) solo albums. I've made the argument that he could have had a steady solo career, releasing a solo album every couple of years, just from releasing his professional-quality demos. And that's only from the material that's been made public either officially or on bootleg. That is said to be just the tip of the iceberg.

I've already posted two such albums, one covering his demos up through 1968, and the next covering his demos through 1973. This brings us up to 1976.

A couple of these songs allegedly were considered for the Who's Quadrophenia album in 1973.  But it seems they were never done by the Who, so that makes them fair game for my purposes here.

Four of the songs are from the 1976 album "With Love," one of a series of albums celebrating the religious guru Meher Baba. But of Townshend's four songs from that album, only three of them were included as bonus tracks to his 1972 album "Who Came First." Also, it doesn't make much sense to me to consider these four songs bonus tracks to an album that came out four years earlier.

One song here, "Gonna Make You Mine," is an unreleased track that has lesser sound quality than the others. I considered not including it for that reason, but apparently it was seriously considered for the 1975 Who album "The Who by Numbers," and it seems to be rare even on bootlegs, so I kept it.

I also debated including another song, "Amoreuse." It was done live by Townsend in his first solo concert in 1974, and is widely available on bootleg. The sound quality is even more iffy, and it's a cover song, so I've only included it as an unnumbered bonus track.

I'm not sure what year the photo I used for the cover art comes from, but it looks like mid-1970s Townshend to me.
