Considered thinking about the purchase for the day, but for fear of it selling out, I pulled the trigger. I already have it on 180g and I don’t care.
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. This edition is currently only available from this site and will ship to you from July.

OK Computer is one of the best albums ever recorded, IMHO. Worthwhile purchase.
Then again, I started importing oddball B-Side Radiohead releases from Japan and Europe in the late 90's, so my opinion is a bit biased.

With the unreleased artwork and Thom’s notes, this sounds like it may be one of the best glimpses into their mindset at the time.

Not to resurrect an old conversation, but I saw this article and remembered you’d bought OKNOTOK.

That’s very thoughtful of you. I hadn’t seen this. Thank you very much!
