The Who Sell Out (1967) was released in a deluxe edition in 1967. It was a bold album that was structured like a radio broadcast with commercials. Back before Tommy, the Who had a great sense of humor. The album also includes “I Can See for Miles” a blast of tough rock and roll.

Released five months after Sgt. Pepper's, The Who Sell Out is equally brilliant and far more clear-eyed about what the late 60's truly represented: the moment when corporations first grasped the limitless financial bonanza of repackaging revolutionary avatars as consumer culture.
