To borrow a TV term welcome to a "spin-off"! This is a monthly installment where two music geeks (Andy & Ethan) discuss their favourite albums by artists other than the Beatles. (What a refreshing idea!)  As we are both hardcore Who fans (Ethan = 60s Who, Andy = 70s Who) we decided our first show should center in on the Who's 3rd studio LP "The Who Sell Out". Tying in with the recently released Super Deluxe Box Set celebrating the album we felt this was a good starting point.   We also discuss the post "Sell Out" but pre-Tommy period of 1968 and what an odd ball period it was for the group.   We may actually like the jingles better than the songs! Impersonations, accents, bad singing it's all here.
