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.
