Sell Out consists of unrelated songs joined together with fake public service announcements and commercial purposes jingles. It was an ode to the recently forbidden pirate stations on the North Sea, such as Radio London.

This way to a cowboy's breakfast. Daltry rides again. Thinks: 'Thanks to Heinz Baked Beans everyday is a super day.' Those who know how many beans make five get Heinz beans inside and outside at every opporunity. Get saucy.

There used to be a dark side to Keith Moon. Not now. Not anymore. If acne is preventing you from reaching your acme, use Medac, the spot remover that makes your pits flit. Put Medac on the spot now.

John Entwistle was a nine and half stone weakling until Charles Atlas mad a man of him at nine and three-quarter stone. Now those huggy bear biceps make those beach beauties running. Put muscles among the mussels. Tense yourself skinny.

I can see for miles- track 7 / side 1

Roger Daltrey variously claimed that he had either caught pneumonia, the flu, or the 'worst cold of his lifetime' after sitting for a prolonged period in the bathtub. As the beans had just come out of the fridge, and were freezing cold!!

When the LP was released on Track Records in the UK in 1967 (612 002 Mono & 613 002 Stereo), a psychedelic poster, illustrated by Adrian George, was included inside the first 1000 copies (500 stereo and 500 mono).

The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964 and are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, drummer Keith Moon (†1978) and bassist John Entwistle († 2003).

The Who established themselves with holding a reputation for their live shows featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage.

The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single Pinball Wizard and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds and Live Aid, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. Townshend and Daltrey continue as the Who, releasing Endless Wire in 2006, and continue to play live regularly.
