CD 2 – Original stereo mix and stereo bonus tracks.CD 1 – Original mono mix, mono As & Bs and unreleased mono mixes.The new Super Deluxe Edition of The Who Sell Out includes five CDs and two seven-inch singles and features 112 tracks, 46 of which are unreleased. Only The Who’s third album, The Who Sell Out is regarded highly and features the transatlantic top ten hit ‘I Can See For Miles’. The iconic sleeve plays an important part of the overriding concept and was created by David King who was the art director at the Sunday Times, and Roger Law (yes, the guy who invented UK TV’s Spitting Image show, in the 1980s). In the end, rather than actually going as far as to sell advertising space on the album, the band opted to write their own jingles, with a nod to pirate radio stations and an increasingly consumerist society. This approach was partly because the record label were demanding a new record and Townshend felt as if he didn’t have enough songs! The album was originally planned by Pete Townshend and the band’s managers (Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp) as a loose concept album with jingles and commercials linking the songs. The Who‘s 1967 album The Who Sell Out will be reissued as a seven-disc super deluxe edition box set in April.
