Rolling Stone has some previews of the tracks, as they’ve been doing them live for a while now. I haven’t listened to them all yet, but it sounds promising so far.
I just ordered the downloadable version of In Rainbows, the upcoming Radiohead album. It comes in two versions. The first:
THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS. A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK. THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS. ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.
THE ALBUM DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY COMES WITH THIS PACK.
The cost is £40.00.
The second version is just downloadable audio files of an unknown format. (They better be MP3.) The price? Whatever you want.
