So this is what happens if you let Mods go psychedelic -- rather than do a half-hearted jump on the bandwagon they will instead give you a full-fledged parody of the music world around them. Disguised as a show on a pirate radio station, complete with jingles and faux advertisements, The Who Sell Out shows that Pete Townshend was a keen listener to the music of 1967, because much of it shows up in more or less disguised form on this album -- The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Sgt Pepper being some of the more obvious examples -- but almost always the context will be a funny one. Call it a step ahead, if you wish.
For The Who themselves, the album was a handy device to bridge what must have been a transitional period for them; this was at the time when they were just shedding their R&B-influenced Mod personalities, but they hadn't quite become the rock gods yet that Tommy would make them. That transition is also noticeable in the music, as a surprising number of themes and riffs from earlier songs show up on this album, and riffs that would be more fully developed on Tommy also make a first appearance here.
The Who Sell Out leaves a very strong artistic impression; it is a very clever, entertaining record with punch and some really great hooks. "I Can See for Miles" the obvious LP highlight -- they've never been this entertaining ever since this album.
