Immerse Your Soul In Love - The Radiohead Thread

So... Kid A 20th Anniversary is next month, beginning to wonder if we'll actually see anything come of it just yet. Part of me wonders if COVID put a dent in plans.

Im guessing that, because they didn’t specifically say re-release, more cool stuff they’d found and wanted to share for the anniversary, that it’s all been covered off, or will be next month, in the public library. I hope not and that there are fancy versions of it and Amnesiac both in the pipeline...

It would be a pretty big missed opportunity not to capitalize on the anniversary the same way they did with OKC. Although maybe I'm just always thirsty for new Radiohead music to absorb 😛

Yeah I suppose but they could have milked both The Bends and Pablo Honey too, both have excellent B-Sides, but didn’t. Thom isn’t really one for looking backwards or re-issuing with bonus tracks, they were furious at Parlophone for the deluxe editions and best of in 2009. The other thing is that I’d wager that most of the Kid A extra material already came out as Amnesiac, so maybe they don’t feel they have new material to make it worthwhile, again they’re not the kind of act that likes to let us in on the process and to see their miss-steps, they like to put out the finished product. I’d love a new version too but I’m not counting on it.
 
I've only been doing the whole vinyl thing for a couple of years now, so OKNOTOK had already come out (and was one of the first albums I bought), and I figured I wouldn't buy Kid A or Amnesiac since the 20th was approaching and I wanted to see what was in the works (they're now the only one's I don't have on vinyl except Pablo Honey, which I'm fine just having the CD of).

I figure I'll wait a few more months, give in and buy them, then immediately have Radiohead announce the delayed, amazing 20th-anniversary box set.

I remember seeing somewhere that Ed wrote on IG that the plans for that were not going through, but I don't really know how true it is, let me see if I can find it again.

The Pablo Honey XL reissue sounds really good, I recommend getting that. 🤘

I didn't like this. :( Felt a bit monotonous and lifeless.

(Though I have to say I'm a bit biased on Radiohead covers because most of them suck 😂)

I like Phoebe Bridgers but I hate when people cover one of a band most obvious choices. I'd rather hear her take on Radiohead track that I haven't heard 5 million times in my life.

it is, the uniqueness of the code and the fact it’s rarer because that was only for sale in the UK make it more valuable. The other one is the European with a generic Parlophone code. My understanding is they’re the exact same press done at the same time otherwise.

Aha, and does anyone know where I can get a guaranteed Optimal press of Amnesiac. Every single one I've tried to get has been GZ and they've all been totally effed up. I finally gave up, my copy is a mess. Cogs lists like 118 for sale but I'm betting most are actually the GZ press.

How can you tell. I have the XL 10” that I got off amazon uk but there is no pressing plant listed on cogs?
