WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS:  If you have a question on orders received, please contact us.  We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied.   When leaving Feedback, please consider the following:  eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5  reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities if we hit 4.6 across the board.  Ridiculous, but true.

Please help us strive for 5 stars through your feedback so we may continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!  We have served thousands of satisfied customers  - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.  

We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays.  Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule to Monday.   We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.  We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order.  Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.  

 TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS:  We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping.  Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.   

As always, thank you for your support!

RARE and MINT Japanese superior deluxe issue with lyrics insert ...

This old pressing features different song mixes from the USA or UK issues ...the cover has also a slightly different design...

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.

CONDITION: The cover is MINT with obi strip and lyrics insert ... a perfect copy...without any delete marks!  No seam splits, no bends and no writing anywhere
