OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017 - Radiohead (Vinyl) [22% Off]
Coming just two years after the Britpop glory of The Bends, OK Computer was a huge departure from their previous guitar-based sound. Incorporating abstract lyrics and densely layered electronics it paved the way for the more experimental albums that laid ahead. The OKNOTOK edition supersedes all previous reissues of the album, issued this time by XL Recordings -- the band's current label. The 3x 180 gram vinyl edition features the original remastered LP, 3 unreleased tracks, and 8 B-sides.
A Moon Shaped Pool - Radiohead (Audio CD) [57% Off]
A Moon Shaped Pool was one of the musical surprises of 2016. Announced just one week before its release, it marked Radiohead's first studio album since 2011's The King of Limbs. The video for first single Burn The Witch was directed by Chris Hopewell and featured stop-motion animation in the style of children's TV show Trumpton. The album is available in CD, Vinyl, MP3, and Streaming formats.
Radiohead Box Set [35% Off]
Featuring all six studio albums from Pablo Honey to Hail to the Thief, and the live album I Might Be Wrong. Each album is even housed in its own original digipak sleeve. Although there was some controversy over its release, it's still one of the best physical collections going covering Radiohead's years with Parlophone.
The Eraser - Thom Yorke (Audio CD) [56% Off]
Following the tour supporting Hail to the Thief, Radiohead took a hiatus. Thom Yorke used the downtime to create an album that steered even further into electronica. By using samples from Radiohead's various recordings, he created an album that contained some of his most overtly political lyrics to date.

Welcome to the Machine - Tim Footman (Paperback)
OK Computer was a landmark album and not only for its music. Not long after its release the internet started to become mainstream technology. With the advent of the iTunes store, full albums made to be listened to start to finish were looking resigned to history. Tim Footman's book examines OK Computer as a musical work and its larger impact on the music industry.
