This
6 CD set brings together, at long last, the realisation
of Pete Townshend's 'Lifehouse' project. Originally conceived
in 1971, the project spawned many of Townshend's greatest
songs but has only now been seen to be complete. The reason
for this is the broadcast, by the BBC, in December 1999
of the Lifehouse radio play adaptation. The play realised
the first wholly complete narrative of the story in almost
30 years and has prompted Townshend to creatively revisit
the project and put together his complete record of Lifehouse.

& CD6: Lifehouse Radio Play
~ Running Time: 107:14
First broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on December 5th 1999 and described
by Pete Townshend as 'a play with music'. An apocalyptic journey
set across the industrial wastes of Britain on the last day
of the millennium. When his daughter goes missing, the disillusioned
Ray leaves his wife and rural hideaway to find her. He heads
back to the city, magnetised by the voice of a pirate hacker
calling the like-minded and lost to the Lifehouse - a subversive
music event.
