The Stereo Bonus Tracks
from The Who Sell Out
Super Deluxe Edition
With just over three weeks until the release of The Who Sell Out Super Deluxe Edition, a third batch of tracks “The Stereo Bonus Tracks” are available on streaming services. Listen to new versions of I Can See For Miles, Facts Of Life and Magic Bus via the link below.
- I Can See For Miles (Full Version):The previously unreleased complete master featuring Pete’s count-in and guitar doodling on the intro and outro.
- Facts Of Life (AKA Birds & Bees) (Backing Track New Remix):When scouring The Who’s tape vault for this project, a backing track for ‘Facts Of Life’, a John Entwistle composition, was discovered.
- Magic Bus (Take 6):Several attempts were made to record this Bo Diddley-flavoured composition that Pete had written and demoed back in 1965. Take 6 starts with Keith playing claves, Pete on electric guitar and John on bass before Keith crashes in on drums. Roger and Pete provide guide vocals. This version was close to how the band performed the song on stage at the time.

The Who Sell OutSuper Deluxe Edition
Pre-order now.
The Who Sell Out is a bold depiction of the period in which it was made, the tail-end of the ‘swinging-60s’ meets pop-art mixed with psychedelia and straight-ahead pop. It’s a glorious blend of classic powerful Who instrumentation, melodic harmonies, satirical lyrical imagery crystallised for what was only the group’s third album. The album’s ambition and scope is unrivalled by the Who, or any other act from that period.
One of the most extraordinary albums of any era, The Who Sell Out is The Who’s last ‘pop’ album.
The Who Sell Out Super Deluxe Edition will be released on 23 April via UMC / UMe / Polydor, featuring 112 tracks across five CDs & two 7” singles, a 80-page hard back book with new liner notes by Pete Townshend, plus rare posters, inserts and memorabilia.
