THE WHO - SELL OUT - ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING MINT CONDITION VINYL
This is a mint condition, 1st issue, original cover of the 1967 classic 3rd studio LP by The Who on Track Records. It is a concept album, formatted as a collection of unrelated songs interspersed with faux commercials and public service announcements. The album purports to be a broadcast by pirate radio station Radio London. Part of the intended irony of the title was that the Who were making commercials during that period of their career, some of which are included as bonus tracks on the remastered Album.
The album's release was reportedly followed by lawsuits due to the mention of real-world commercial interests in the faux commercials and on the album covers, and by the makers of the real jingles (Radio London jingles), who claimed the Who used them without permission. (The jingles were produced by PAMS Productions of Dallas, Texas, which created thousands of station ID jingles in the 1960s and '70s). It was the deodorant company, Odorono, who took offense that Chris Stamp made a request for endorsement dollars. "I Can See for Miles" was released as a single and peaked at #10 in the UK and #9 in the US.
The Who Sell Out received widespread acclaim from critics, some of whom viewed it as the Who's best record and one of the greatest albums of all time.

Sellers background:
As you'll notice, I have not sold anything on eBay as yet. I have purchased over 100 records and have a 100% credit rating. I'm selling some LPs for a family friend who I'm doing a favour for. If you need to check me out for authenticity, I own a record shop in Ireland (www.classifiedrecords.ie) and I sell records for a living. I am not doing this for personal gain/profit. This LP is a mega-rare record, to see something this old and beautiful is such pristine condition is a special treat.
Shipping:
As outlined above, I am new to 'selling' on eBay. Happy to oblige the buyer or how fast they want their vinyl shipped. I'll offer the 'standard' delivery service / I'm not interested in making money from the shipping either. I've checked Irish delivery costs and shipping will cost approx €10-13.
