Hell of a deal on drill capital reissue
I looked up that which led me to look up more of the Radiohead singles on vinyl. Then I saw how much Street Spirit which has Talk Show Host is selling for and now I'm sad.
I also passed up an opportunity to buy the In Rainbows box set on Discogs for $150 shipped. I want to but I shouldn't.

Got my OG HTTT in today. Oh baby.
The jacket is great and the inner sleeves are also in top condition but they do have seam splits. Its understandable, as those discs are heavy and sharp.
People, why isn’t everything pressed at 45rpm, seriously? You know it. I know it. They know. It’s superlative to 33rpm and things sounds so much more delicious. Stop pussyfooting around and gives us premium sonic fidelity, goddammit. If Kid Amnesiac happens and it’s not cut at 45, man oh man...I will just have to buy it anyway.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that this HTTT sounds freaking sweet

I would say the reason is all that flipping, but my copy of Kid A is 33 1/3 RPM on 2 10” records, so yeah, a 2 LP 45rpm set would be an improvement.
There are some really good sounding copies of that 2x10 though. The OGs are excellent and the 2008 Capitol was not bad at all considering how shit they usually are. The only 12” which is the 2016 1LP 33 on the other hand is almost universally derided as a shit press.

I’m cool with the flipping but I listen in a spot close to my turntable. I’d be cooler with 2LP at 45 though.
I do have an OG European Amnesic and it does sound real pretty.
Thanks @Crabbers. You guys inspire me for the hunt.Welcome to the OG club
I have OG’d of In Rainbows, KOL, Amnesic, I Might Be Wrong, OK Computer and now HTTT. I guess you include AMSP special edition in that too.
I have a The Bends but it’s the mystery pressing without the pound sign in the Parlaphone mark.

Nope but it is a parlophone from the original mastering and sounds fan fucking tastic! I have one of them too lol!
Discogs link perchance?

Thanks! What is the key to making sure your buying the correct version of this? Just Parlaphone on the labels? There seems to be so much noise around different Radiohead presses and I want to make sure I end up with the right one.Radiohead - The Bends

As far I’m aware the only visible difference is the records themselves as below..
It’s missing the signature Parlaphone pound sign in the trade mark circle on the labels.
I bought mine from a dealer who was selling it as original. He was kind enough to send me some pics and that’s when I noticed the missing stamp. When I told him it wasn’t what he thought it was and sent him link to Discogs he dropped the price substantially. Like @Joe Mac I was fairly happy with it. It was little dirty when I got it but haven’t bothered to look at upgrading to an OG.

This is the one I have. It was the last Parlophone repress before XL bought the rights. It sounds fantastic!
