I’m currently listening to The Who Sell Out - The Who, 1967
This record continues to be among my favorites and most played, for the music and cover design.

![The Who Sell Out, 1967
Why the album rocks: This album was Townshend’s first attempt at a concept-style album. The theme of the album, including radio jingles, is premised as being a broadcast from the pirate radio station Radio London.
Why the cover design rocks: The design was inspired by the commercials featured on the album, not the music. Album front features Pete Townshend applying some Odorono deodorant and Roger Daltrey in a tub of Heinz baked beans. (Rumor has it that Daltrey got a mild case of pneumonia because the beans were refrigerated.) Album back features Keith Moon applying Medac skin cream and John Entwistle sporting a beach-ready body by Charles Atlas.
