Christmas Comes Early For Lone Radiohead Fan

A British Radiohead fan has caused a stir after mistakenly receiving the In Rainbows "discbox" a week before they were supposed to be shipped.

The discbox includes In Rainbows in both CD and double vinyl formats, a hardcover book with lyrics and artwork by Stanley Donwood. It also comes with a bonus disc of eight songs not featured on the downloadable version of In Rainbows that was released on Oct. 10.

According to the fan, who posts under the name Spuffmeister on the Radiohead fan site AtEase.com, he's already been contacted by Radiohead online merchandiser w.a.s.t.e to ensure that he doesn't upload the bonus tracks. It also asked the fan "for the order details so that the dispatch company could be bollocked!"

Although Spuffmeister has stated that he'll honour the merchandiser's request, he offered some consolation to ravenous fans by providing several pictures of the discbox and descriptions of some of the bonus tracks.

While most of those songs have already been performed live, "MK1" and "MK2" haven't. Apparently there's a reason for this as Spuffmeister passes them off as "just minute long fillers." He praises "4 Minute Warning" as "beautiful, a real end of album track."
