One place online has the price listed as £90.99, or about $125. All-in-all, that's a steal for all that content related to one of the great albums of that generation.

What?
I was once a huge Who fanatic and would have given my left arm for this. I got older and they haven’t appealed to me in decades.
Have the original, and Who’s Next..converted them both to CD and still listen to them.
Yes. But you have to Guess Who if you want The Band.
It’s good but it ain’t Who’s Next on which every single song is a keeper like LZIV or American Beauty or Let it Bleed or Wish You Were Here or Second Helping or Abby Road (almost) or Ziggy Stardust or Aqualung.....and so on
Meaty Big and Bouncy is a compilation kind of but every song is worthwhile
Every Picture Tells a Story and Sgt Pepper
Byrd’s Sweetheart of the Radio
Most perfect big album is a toss up
Exile on Main Street versus Physical Graffiti
It could go on and on....what really made Sells Out is the title and artwork....man I remember well....at capital records downtown Jax Ms or on Ellis Ave ....folks had to see the cover....it was repelling but grabbed u
The Who were four amazingly talented musicians - each one was a Lead Musician in his own right.
Roger Daltry, Lead Vocalist
Pete Townsend, Lead Guitarist
John Entwistle, Lead Bassist
Keith Moon, Lead Drummer
They were an incredibly talented bunch. Only two survivors to date.
My favorite tune from Sell Out is Sunrise.
IMHO, their best album.
Pete wrote it for his mom. Some beautiful acoustic guitar work on that one.
But "Odorono" is my favorite song of all on the album.
For me, music slammed the door on the 60s sensibilities when psychedelia became passé. Sell Out is a 60s album and mildly psychadelic; I Can See For Miles is the apex of Townshend's psychedelic output, and I read some quote of his that was something like "I gave up on psychedelia when I put on my Doc Martens." I would not dream of ranking it near Live At Leeds or Quadrophenia (though it's better than Who Are You).
I was but a wee Deplorable when this album came out but I got it years later as my first Ooo album. As you state, the cover and concept alone may outshine its more-than-decent musical content.
Townshend once said The Who wasn't really popular in the South. Is that true?
They hold up well but not like Stones or Zepplin
Although I still listen probably weekly
I listen to little music made post 2000
Except new outlaw style country
Called Kentucky music or Texas stuff or Oklahoma red dirt
That my friends is where some good stuff can be found
But keep beware of woke country
Apple loves to mix in woke lyrics bullsht into that genre
One minute you’re listening to Sturgill Simpson. Or Tyler Childers
And they throw in Ashley McBryde or Amanda Shires or her husband Jason Isbell all nauseating lefty ...Isbell is former front man Drive by Truckers....a great alt band but he’s mega woke....
Kasey Musgraves is woke too but she’s so deliciously hot I give her a not guilty....I have to
I listen to a lot of these new country genres.....beyond tailgate or bro country
Really good... Childers stands out.....
Unless you want to shoot your dash....never ever listen to uber leftist versions of the Highwaymen called Highwaywomen....
I have no clue why Jimmy Webb helped Shires craft that horseshit
Music Row has been borged by gen x and younger leftists ....mostly women....they took over when Viacom sent down urban taste influencers to run CMT after they bought it 15 years ago or so.....it’s now their baby
Very PC
I don’t know if it was recorded for the “Sell Out” sessions, but probably the best Who song that never made it onto an album is “Melancholia”.
The original WHO album. Like Walter Wart the Freaky Frog, I was always one step ahead of the crowd and had this album before anyone knew "WHO" they were in 1966. A really cool album and the songs are still snappy today.
Probably would have been worth a lot today if my dad had not negligently sold all my cool stuff out from under me. He didn't mean any harm, just wasn't paying attention, Oh well, c'est la vie.
No, what’s on second...
Not to me it’s not....I’d rank them in the Big Five anywhere where folks listen to rock music....
They got same airplay in the 60s as all top tier bands right under Stones and Beatles and Motown singles...
Who’s Next was a pivotal album my HIGH school days ....as popular as Led Zepplin or Lynyrd Skynyrd...
We would travel distance to Dallas or Atlanta to see them
The South lacked population for tickets then unlike now after so many have moved in here
Pete says a lot of things lol
What makes The Who special is their uniqueness
Pete’s eccentric guitar style and great writing and composing
Rogers singing and vitality
Ox’s strong bass...anyone should listen to their STB rendition his bass isolates
And of course Keith Moon another one to listen to isolated tracks of
Quite a band...and Pete threw Abbie Hoffman offstage....

It just dawned on me.....you responded first person
Is this your blog?
Are you blabbermouth.....if so watch out for HG
He’ll be here soon like the worms in Dune
Lol
Btw....I don’t fault blogs some are good and you really didn’t excerpt
