Re: odd question

I believe the official title is THE WHO BY NUMBERS. (By The Who.) ;-)

Again, I believe the title is THE WHO SELL OUT.
The confusion lies in their usage of the band name *in* the titles.
For example, we don't say THE WHO'S NEXT or THE WHO'S MISSING or THE
WHO'S LAST.
But THE WHO SELL OUT & THE WHO BY NUMBERS is printed *on* the album
covers in exactly that manner.
It's not THE WHO - Sell out. Or THE WHO: By Numbers. In both these
cases the titles include the phrase "THE WHO," IMO.
Good question.
