Story & Background
"The Who Sell Out", a 1967 masterpiece released by Track Record, is an ingenious concept album that parodied pirate radio and commercialisation. Its cover, in line with the satirical spirit, became iconic and legendary. The image of Roger Daltrey submerged up to his neck in a tub of Heinz baked beans has remained etched in collective memory, but it concealed an unexpected twist. To achieve the shot, Daltrey was forced to remain for a long time in fridge-cold beans. This prolonged exposure to the cold caused him severe flu, which later degenerated into painful pneumonia. A physical sacrifice that, in bitter irony, mirrored the album's "sold out" intent.
