Holy Moly. Thank you for that link!
That's crazy. A new album in 1 week! Is this some sort of trick?

i dont think so it looks legit esp since the link is from radiohead.com and evidently johnny greenwood was on the website annoucing the release

Winsor_Pilates · 09-30-2007, 11:19 PM

yeah, I immediately checked radiohead.com and green plastic to see if they had info on this and they do.
That is really impressive that they managed to keep this secret until now.

I think I'll have to get the discbox, but not sure if I should order it now or wait.
Holy crap am I excited!!

Are they releasing this independantly? I read that they don't have a label?

I guess its easier for it not to leak when you arent connected to a record label at the moment. As for the discbox its a bit pricey but for the radiohead fan it would have to be a must

Crap, I went to pre-order the download, then I saw you enter your own price. I clicked back after clicking the question mark and now it says I can only download once and it won't put it in my basket again.

I guess you can get it for free if you wanted to.

$80 for the Packet is a steep price but It's tempting to get even if I don't own a record player.

New iPod, new Radiohead.

<Sigh>, Life is good!

Apparently you can, and that's how they wanted it. Check this out (from Wikipedia):

Quote:

While the disc box is priced at £40 and includes the digital download, the price when purchasing just the download by itself is set by the buyer (plus a transaction fee of 45 pence if price paid is more than £0.00). On purchase, the buyer is prompted to type the desired price, with the text "It's up to you. No really, It's up to you." as an explanation

Thanks for starting this thread! Awesome news.
