Amazon.com essential recording
The Who Sell Out's pirate-radio concept goes south in the album's second half--the Who ran out of time before they could write enough faux commercials--but it still remains in many ways their best and most entertaining album. Pete Townshend and John Entwistle supply song after great song, and along with Keith Moon play them with power and focus. The classic single "I Can See for Miles" is matched on at least a handful of tracks, including the opening psychedelic-pop blast of "Armenia City in the Sky" (written by Townshend pal Speedy Keen), the hilarious social-interaction tales "Odorono" and "Tattoo," and the majestic mini-opus "Rael." This remaster's bonus tracks are occasionally too much of a good thing, but the Tommy rough draft "Glow Girl" is brilliant. --Rickey Wright

 The Who's Best Album By A Country Mile August 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is just one of those mind blowingly great albums. It is so great, as in one of those albums that when you listen you might wonder to your self -- Wow, is there a human on this earth with such bad taste that they don't like this? If someone tells you anything but that this album is great, their taste in all things should be questioned. If you don't have this already, get it now!!!!!!!!!
 The Who - Pirate Radio June 30, 2008
For me this is The Who's first really good album. They would go on to achieve even bigger things, but "Sell Out" shows a glimpse of the potential that was to come. The album revolves around the concept of a pirate radio station complete with commercials (written and performed by The Who). It is a really clever concept especially for 1967. The album produced a classic Who hit in "I Can See For Miles" which to this day is the band's only top 10 hit in the U.S. The album was ahead of it's time in many ways and includes the mini conceptual piece "Rael" which would serve as a springboard into their classic album "Tommy". Today this album sounds very much a product of it's time, but the remastering is very well done and is chock full of 10 bonus tracks. The Who went on to do several albums that I consider to be all time rock classics, but this one is where it all started.
Great CD June 23, 2008
This is definitely another great Who CD despite the fact that the CD is really in Mono and not Stereo like it says on the cover. This CD absolutely deserves five stars.
