It’s a glorious blend of classic powerful Who instrumentation, melodic harmonies, satirical lyrical imagery crystallized for what was only the group’s third album. The album’s ambition and scope is unrivalled by the Who, or any other act from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the bold concept, were a batch of fabulous and diverse songs. “I Can See for Miles,” a top ten hit at the time, is a Who classic. “Rael,” a Townshend “mini-opera” with musical motifs that reappeared in Tommy and the psychedelic blast of “Armenia City In The Sky” and “Relax” are among the very best material anyone wrote during the 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most extraordinary albums of any era, The Who Sell Out is The Who’s last “pop” album. Two years later came Tommy – a double concept album about a deaf, dumb and blind kid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Who Sell Out was originally planned by Pete Townshend and the band’s managers Kit Lambert \u0026amp; Chris Stamp, as a loose concept album including jingles and commercials linking the songs stylised as a pirate radio broadcast. This concept was born out of necessity as their label and management wanted a new album and Townshend felt that he didn’t have enough songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ground-breaking original plan for Sell Out was to sell advertising space on the album but instead the band opted for writing their own jingles paying tribute to pirate radio stations and to parody an increasingly consumerist society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe homage to pop-art is evident in both the advertising jingles and the iconic sleeve design created by David King who was the art director at the Sunday Times, and Roger Law who invented the Spitting Image TV show. The sleeve features four advertising images, taken by the renowned photographer David Montgomery, of each band member Odorono deodorant (Pete Townshend), Medac spot cream (Keith Moon), Charles Atlas (John Entwistle) and Roger Daltrey \u0026amp; Heinz baked beans. The story goes that Roger Daltrey caught pneumonia from sitting in the cold beans for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmenia City in the Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heinz Baked Beans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Odorono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tattoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Our Love Was\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can See for Miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Reach You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Relax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silas Stingy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rael (+ Track Records Run-Off Groove)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pictures of Lily (Original U K Track Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doctor Doctor (Original U K Track Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Last Time (Original U K Track Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Under My Thumb (Original U K Track Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can See for Miles (Original U K Track Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand (Original U S Decca Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Someone's Coming (Original U S Decca Single Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Unused Radio London Ad \/ Early Morning Cold Taxi (1967 Mono Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Unused Radio London Bulletin Link \/Jaguar (1967 Mono Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Unused Radio London Ad \/Tattoo (Early Alternate Mono Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rael (Talentmasters Studio New York Early Rough Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunn Amps Promo Spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Great Shakes Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Armenia City in the Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heinz Baked Beans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Odorono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tattoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Our Love Was\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can See for Miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Reach You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Relax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silas Stingy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rael\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bonus Tracks - Stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rael Naïve (Complete with Organ Coda Ending)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand (U S Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Someone's Coming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summertime Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Glittering Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Early Morning Cold Taxi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Girl's Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coke After Coke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sodding About\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Things Go Better with Coke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hall of the Mountain King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jaguar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rael (Remake; Ibc Version) Track Records Outro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521896190226,"sku":"602577114274","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-who-the-who-sell-out-deluxe-2-cds-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
