Impressive stuff, but stick to the albums if you want to hear Yorke and co at their very best. Click for our verdict, past videos and tell us what you think.
It's also pointless because EMI reissued a complete box set when In Rainbows launched online and since I only have Kid A apart from having downloaded IR, I'm much more likely to stump up 40 quid to get the rest of the albums.
More to the point, I wonder if I have to resort to piracy to get the tracks on In Rainbows' second limited edition CD, or what? Are they also available track by track?

don't think they're (legally) available anywhere other than the CD
To be fair, most people downloaded In Rainbows for about a quid, totally destroying the idea of paying what you think is a fair price, so I don't blame the band or their record company for putting out a limited edition CD.
There was a FANASTIC review of this in The Mirror which neglected to mention the content of ther disc, and claim that this is Radiohead's attempt to gain some money after In Rainbows.
Shame they didnt do their homework and discover that Radiohead didn't want this released, and that In Rainbows actually made quite a large chunk of cash. It's all EMI being arsey because one of their biggest cash cows has scarpered. I emailed them (The Mirror) enquiring about their editorial standards, and pointing out that if one of my own commissions had been completed in such a manner that I'd fail to EVER recieve another job offer. Shockingly there's been no reply ;-)
Anyway, this reviews spot on. Brilliant tracks yes, but it isnt even vaguely as fantastic as hearing the albums in full.
Totally agree with John's review. Most Radiohead fans will have all the albums anyway. I think that Radiohead is a band you love or hate so I'm not sure many people will buy this anyway. Also how many albums have you bought where there is a track that isn't released but is a classic....so many to choose from on Radiohead albums.
Interested in the lim. ed. cd as I haven't got around to downloading IR.
