67年に発表されたザ・フーのサードアルバム。国の取り締まりを受けて放送できなくなった海賊ラジオ局へのトリビュートとして、アルバム全体を架空のラジオ局の放送のようにまとめたコンセプトアルバムになっている。
美しいメロディ<3><6>などの小品的な曲がメインだが、サイケデリックなのに解放感あふれる<1>も最高。(麻路 稔)
Amazon.com essential recording
The Who Sell Out's pirate-radio concept goes south in the album's second half--the Who ran out of time before they could write enough faux commercials--but it still remains in many ways their best and most entertaining album. Pete Townshend and John Entwistle supply song after great song, and along with Keith Moon play them with power and focus. The classic single "I Can See for Miles" is matched on at least a handful of tracks, including the opening psychedelic-pop blast of "Armenia City in the Sky" (written by Townshend pal Speedy Keen), the hilarious social-interaction tales "Odorono" and "Tattoo," and the majestic mini-opus "Rael." This remaster's bonus tracks are occasionally too much of a good thing, but the
Tommy rough draft "Glow Girl" is brilliant.
