THE WHO SELL OUT

The Who Sell Out is the third studio album by the British rock band The Who, released on 15 December 1967 by Track Records in the UK and Decca Records in the US. 

It is a concept album, formatted as a collection of unrelated songs interspersed with faux commercials and public service announcements. 

The album purports to be a broadcast by pirate radio station Radio London. Part of the intended irony of the title was that The Who were making commercials during that period of their career, some of which are included as bonus tracks on the remastered CD. 

The album's release was reportedly followed by lawsuits due to the mention of real-world commercial interests in the faux commercials and on the album covers, and by the makers of the real jingles (Radio London jingles), who claimed the Who used them without permission. (The jingles were produced by PAMS Productions of Dallas, Texas, which created thousands of station ID jingles in the 1960s and 1970s). 

It was the deodorant company, Odorono, who took offense that Chris Stamp made a request for endorsement dollars. 

"I Can See for Miles" was released as a single and peaked at #10 in the UK and #9 in the US. The Who Sell Out received widespread acclaim from critics, some of whom viewed it as The Who's best record and one of the greatest albums of all time.
