Originally released in December 1967 'The Who Sell Out' reflected a remarkable year in popular culture. As well as being forever immortalised as the moment when the counterculture and the 'Love Generation' went global, 1967 produced tremendous musical upheavals as 'pop' metamorphosed to 'rock'. The album was originally planned by Pete Townshend and the band's managers as a loose concept album including jingles and commercials linking the songs, styled as a Radio London broadcast. Within the bold concept were a batch of fabulous and diverse songs - 'I Can See for Miles' (a UK top 10 hit) is a Who classic, 'Rael', a Townshend 'mini-opera' with musical motifs that reappeared in 'Tommy' and the psychedelic blast of 'Armenia City in the Sky' and 'Relax' are among the very best material of the 1960s. This Super Deluxe edition features 112 tracks in total, including the original mono mix of the album plus bonus tracks on CD1; the original stereo mix and stereo bonus tracks on CD2; studio out-takes, 'fly-on-the-wall' versions of early takes of songs from the album sessions, 'studio chat', and more, on CD3; 'The Road to Tommy' on CD4, featuring stereo and mono mixes of studio tracks recorded in 1968; 14 original Pete Townshend demos on CD5; and two bonus 7-inch discs. Also included are nine posters and inserts, including replicas of the following: 20' x 30' original Adrian George poster; Gig poster - City Hall, Newcastle: The Who, Traffic, Tremeloes, etc.; Saville Theatre 8-page programme; Business card for the Bag o' Nails club, Kingly Street; Fan Club photo of group; Flyer for Bath Pavilion concerts including The Who; Crack-back bumper sticker for Wonderful Radio London; Keith Moon's Speakeasy Club membership card; and a Who Fan Club newsletter.
