[[caption-width-right:350:''The Who Sell Out''.]]
'''''The Who Sell Out''''' is the third studio album by Music/TheWho, released in 1967. A concept album, it is formatted as a collection of unrelated songs with fake commercials and public service announcements in between them. Part of the intended irony of the title was that The Who were making commercials around this time.
Lawsuits followed the album's release 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.

!! Mary Anne With The Shaky Tropes:
* AluminumChristmasTrees: The band recorded some real commercials around the time ''The Who Sell Out'' was recorded. Some of them are featured on the 1995 reissue.
* ConceptAlbum: In its original LP release, the concept gets more or less abandoned by the start of side two. Later CD releases correct this error by including real-life commercials recorded by the band to pad out the concept.
her infidelity with Ivor the engine driver. A rare justified example--said boyfriend mentions he wasn't entirely faithful himself.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: "Tattoo"--played with in that the owner of the tattoo doesn't find it embarrassing.
* FakeRadioShowAlbum
* IntercourseWithYou: "Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand".
* {{Medley}}: "Rael" was originally intended as one, but was never completed and until the 1990s, only the first part was commercially available.
* NewSoundAlbum: Aside from all the jingles, there's quite a bit of psychedelia on this album.
* NoEnding: "Rael 1" was intended as the first part of a longer "mini-opera" in the same vein as "A Quick One, While He's Away." Only Pete Townshend didn't finish writing it, so the story ends abruptly before it really has a chance to get started.
* SelfPlagiarism: In ''Music/{{Tommy}}'' they used an instrumental tune from "Rael 1" as a leitmotif.
** The song "Glow Girl", recorded during the ''The Who Sell Out'' sessions but unreleased for a number of years, ends with a short song fragment ("[[GenderBender it's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl]]") that is recycled almost verbatim as the second track of ''Music/{{Tommy}}''.
* SellOut: This album is a massive [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] of the group's numerous commercial endeavors during the late 1960s, including recording radio promos for Coca-Cola, Heinz Baked Beans, a car dealer, a maker of guitar strings, the United States Air Force, and anyone else they felt would reimburse them for their trouble. [[http://www.thewho.net/linernotes/WhoSellOut.htm The original plan]] was to entice the companies mentioned on the album to pay for the references. No one was interested, but the band was blatant enough about it that many listeners [[IMeantToDoThat took the album as intentional satire]].
