I don't have Spotify, but check if The Who Sell Out is there since that has ads in it.

Pretty sure they used fake ads, but it’s a good precedent anyway.

Edit: and yes the album is available on Spotify in full.

the ads aren't fake.. well, not all of them -- they're included ironically -- and many aspects of that album generated legal issues for the band.[0]

The whole album was supposed to be a play on a pirate radio station if memory serves, and a damn good one at that. Probably my favorite Who album honestly (besides Live at Leeds, of course).

Uhhhh I'd have to take Quadraphenia in any best Who album list...I think I've bought it at least 6 times in like 4 formats and I can still listen to it end-to-end without effort.
