THE WHO - SELL OUT (200g STEREO LP)

THE WHO/SELL OUT (200g STEREO LP)

The musical chemistry of Daltrey, Townshend, Entwistle and Moon is nothing short of superb, and the remastered sound is simply incredible.'The Who Sell Out' was a natural lead-in for 'Tommy,' as the album expanded Pete Townshend's interest in writing conceptual music. But it's also a mindblowing Who album all on it's own, one of the group's very best releases. So crank up 'The Who Sell Out,' and enjoy rocking out with the Who's marvelous psychedelic radio show.

This album is a virtual treasure! It is so unique. It is a one and only. It's a goof on ridiculous 60's AM teenage radio - and it works so well. The genius of The Who is on full display here (pre-dating the rock opera 'Tommy' by a few years). And, not only that, but you hear familiar musical themes that he later used for that record.

The Who Sell Out was originally released as Track 612 002 (mono), 613002 (stereo) on December 15th, 1967. It reached #13 in the U.K. Released in the U.S. as Decca DL 4950 (mono), DL 74950 (stereo), it reached #48.

The concept for The Who Sell Out came from Pete and Who manager Chris Stamp. Stamp tried to interest advertisers in paying for the adverts inserted by The Who on the record but, with only 50,000 copies of the album expected to be printed, none of the companies would buy. The U.S. LP hit the Billboard charts on January 6th. It was undoubtedly released prior to that date, maybe as early as the last week of December 1967. The stereo mix was completed at De Lane Lea Studios, London, on October 30. The mono master was completed at the same studio November 2nd. The mono 'Our Love Was' track has a different guitar part from the stereo. 'Odorono' lost its guitar part, 'Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand,' 'Tattoo' and 'Relax' have slightly different mixes and the bass was more prominent throughout.
