The company that owned the jingles brought a lawsuit against The Who for using them. A settlement was reached.
It
seems Heinz was very annoyed at the cover of 'The Who Sell Out' until someone pointed out how much free advertising they were
getting.
Most of the jingles were from 'Radio London'an offshore 'pirate'radio station. Radio london was shut down
in 1967 as a result of an act by British Parliment.
At the very end of the U.S. LP in the "Never Ending" record groove
you can hear the words "Track Records" repeated three times. This is a parody of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band album. Find a recording of this jingle at the multimedia page.
"Odorono" was an actual liquid underarm deodorant
used by women during the second world war. It's name was pronounced "Odo-Ron-o", though.
Medac is retitled 'Spotted
Henry' on the US lp.
The UK versions of this album came with a very cool poster.
The following are the mock ads that appear on the fromt and back cover:
"Replacing the stale smell of excess
with the sweet smell for success, Peter Townshend, who, like nine out of ten stars, needs it. Face the music with Odorono,
the all day deodorant that turns perspiration into inspiration."
"This way to a coyboy's breakfast. Daltrey rides
again. Thinks "Thanks to heinz baked beans everyday is a super day." Those who know how many beans make five get heinz baked
beans inside and out at every oppurtunity. Get Saucy"
"There used to be a dark side to keith moon. Not now. Not any
more. If acne is preventing you from reaching your acme, use medac, the spot remover that makes your pits flit. Put medac
on the spot now"
John Entwistle was a 9 and a half stone weakling untill Charles Atlas made a man of him at nine and
three quarter stone. Now those huggy bear biceps bring those beach beauties running. Put muscles amoung the mussles. Tense
yourself skinny"
On the australian issues of sell out, Keith Moon is seen holding a 'clearasil' bottle! On the canadian issues John Entwistle
uses 'isometrics'! The reason for this is most likely legal issues dealing with copyrights.
The Who Sell Out MONO Version
In my humble opinon, the who sell out mono mix is much better than the stereo, better sound and some different track
variations:
I can't reach you: Different guitar solo
Odorono: Missing Lead guitar
All tracks: Heavier Bass
