Radiohead – Neuveröffentlichung von OK COMPUTER zum 20. Jubiläum als OKNOTOK Boxed Edition und 3xLP

OKNOTOK – Im Juni wird der Radiohead-Klassiker „OK Computer“ 20 Jahre alt!

Die blaue Variante soll es nun auch hier geben: Vinyl-Neuerscheinungen bei hhv.de

Am 21. Mai wird das dritte Album der Band stolze 20. Bereits in den letzten Tagen waren in London, New York und Amsterdam Plakate aufgetaucht, die den Songtext zu „Fitter, Happier“ widerspiegelten.

Auf Twitter legten Radiohead nun mit einem kurzen Video nach. Darin zitiert ein Mädchen einen die Lyrics einer Alternativfassung des „OK Computer“-Stücks „Climbing Up the Walls”.

“I am the key to lock in your dress
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get to far inside
You’ll find come out where you came in
So tuck the kids in safe tonight
And shut the eyes in the cupboard
I am the weapon that you needed
Keep an eye out for the neighbors
Anywhere you turn
I’ll be there
Open your skull
Climbing Up the Walls”

OKNOTOK Boxed Edtion

Rescued from defunct formats, prised from dark cupboards and brought to light after two decades in cold storage… OK COMPUTER: the original twelve track album, three unreleased tracks and eight B-sides, all newly remastered from the original analogue tapes*.

Inside a black box emblazoned with a dark image of a burned copy of OK COMPUTER are three heavyweight 180 gram black 12″ vinyl records and a hardcover book containing more than 30 artworks, many of which have never been seen before except by us, and full lyrics to all the tracks except the ones that haven’t really got any lyrics.

Under this weighty tome are yet more surprises: a notebook containing 104 pages from Thom Yorke’s library of scrawled notes of the time, a sketchbook containing 48 pages of Donwood and Tchock’s ‚preparatory work‘ and a C90 cassette mix tape compiled by us, taken from OK COMPUTER session archives and demo tapes.

To avoid accusations of wilful obscurity, a 320k MP3, 16- or 24-bit WAV download of 23 tracks will be available to you on 23rd June and a download of the cassette will be inside the box.

OKNOTOK 3xLP Edition
