Rare Radiohead Singles Coming On Vinyl

01/12/09 6:51pm

EMI is still doing whatever it can to exploit its Radiohead catalogue and will issue a baker's dozen worth of the British group's somewhat rare singles on 12-inch, 180-gram vinyl on April 21.

Perhaps the most notable of the records is Radiohead's first official release, the Drill EP. It's comprised of demo recordings from Courtyard Studio in Oxon, England which were produced and engineered by Chris Hufford and mixed by Timm Baldwin. My Iron Lung includes the title track and outtake recordings from The Bends sessions.

The other singles in the series are "Creep," "Just,""Fake Plastic Trees,""High And Dry," "Street Spirit (Fade Out)," ""Paranoid Android," "Karma Police," "No Surprises," "Pyramid Song," "There There" and "2+2=5." The sleeve of each record will come with a sticker of the original five-inch CD single artwork.

EMI reissued all of its Radiohead albums and put out a best-of compilation of the band's work against their will after they left the company and signed with ATO Records in 2007 to release In Rainbows.
