The Who's ongoing half-speed master series continues on July 8th with the release on 1967's The Who Sell Out and 1969's Tommy. The half-speed master LP's are both available for pre-order and have been mastered by longtime Who engineer Jon Astley with vinyl cuts by Miles Showell. The Who Sell Out will be issued as a single album and sells for $31.99. The double-LP Tommy runs for $41.99.
The Who Sell Out, which was originally released on December 15th, 1967, was the pinnacle of the group's pop art period and featured tracks interspersed with original radio spots, commercials and public service announcements in an effort to ape England's then-pirate radio stations.
The album included the band's sole Top 10 hit — “I Can See For Miles” — the instant concert staple, “Tattoo,” along with such fan favorites as “I Can't Reach You,” “Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand,” “Sunrise,” “Relax,” and “Our Love Was.”
