Editorial Review:

Album Details:
Japanese Limited Edition Issue of the Album Classic in a Deluxe, Miniaturized LP Sleeve Replica of the Original Vinyl Album Artwork. Different Cover

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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Who's Best Album By A Country Mile
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!!!!!!!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Who - Pirate Radio
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great CD
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great old rock album
armenia city in the sky was a favorite in 60's, good old rock and roll



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
I love this album. It ws a head of it's time and when you put it on it brings back the good times.
