New Radiohead Album The King Of Limbs available THIS Saturday

Radiohead have trumped convention yet again with the announcement of their new record The King Of Limbs. Described as the "World's First Newspaper Album", it can pre-ordered now from this website; the digital form becomes available to download on Saturday 19th, whilst the physical copy will be shipped on the 9th May and will comprise:
  • Two clear 10" vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
  • A compact disc.
  • Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
  • Shipping is included in the prices shown.
  • One lucky owner of the digital version of The King Of Limbs, purchased from the website, will receive a signed 2 track 12" vinyl.
The full Newspaper album package (including the MP3 digital version) is priced at £30; the digital version can be upgraded to WAV form for an extra £3. For those who prefer functionality over collectability, the digital version can be purchased alone in 320kbps MP3 or WAV form for £6 and £9 respectively.
Exciting news indeed, and after In Rainbows we can fully expect an album with the substance to match its genius premise.
