Loading ...Radiohead Digital Sales
Mark
It’s been fairly well publicised that the latest album by Radiohead, In Rainbows, was available as a download, only available from the band’s site (excluding the illegal peer-to-peer downloads that have been taking place).
Well, it now seems that the band’s old label (EMI) is jumping on the digital bandwagon that the band created.
EMI is now selling all Radiohead’s back catalogue in three different ways.
The first way is a limited edition, 7 CD Album Box-Set, with each album repackaged in digipak sleeves.
Price £39.99
The second way is a digital download box-set, with all songs available as DRM-free, 320 kbps MP3s.
Price £34.99
The third way is a limited edition 4GB USB flash drive “shaped in Radiohead’s iconic “bear” image and housed in a bespoke deluxe box.”
This edition includes ‘CD quality’ WAV files with digital artwork for each album.
Price £79.99
All these collections will ship on the 10th of December.
There’s nothing like a bitter label in the music biz, is there - still, they have to make back Robbie Williams’s advance somehow 
It’s a reasonable deal vs buying the CDs individually (the 7-CD pack that is) that would suit fans like me, I don’t mind buying Kid A again - but it can wait until the sales as Christmas is done and dusted now.
@khenry - Good point about them needing to repay the Robster’s collosal advance. Didn’t they give him something insane like 80 million quid last time round? Bonkers.
