The Who Sell Out, The Who’s third album was released on Track Records on 15 December 1967 (Track 612 002 [mono] & 613 002 [stereo]). The first CD version was issued by Polydor in the early 1980s (835 727-24) and a remastered version in 1995. The remastered version was produced by Jon Astley. In the US The Who Sell Out was released on 6 January 1968 (Decca DL 4950 [mono], DL 74950 [stereo]) followed by the CD (MCA MCAD-31332) in the 1980s and remastered CD (MCAD-11268) in 1995. A Deluxe Edition was released in 2009 (Polydor 5315336) on two CDs with the first CD including the original 13 tracks in stereo plus 17 bonus tracks.
