Radiohead Awards EMI The Opportunity To Sell the Album Everyone Got on the Web?

10/3/07, 4:10 pm EST


Radiohead are perhaps sticking with EMI after all. Just days after challenging the entire record industry with the “pay what you want” option for their new album In Rainbows (as long as what you want to play is less than $205.61), surviving music retailer HMV posted on their U.K. website that In Rainbows CDs are available for preordering. The release date for the physical compact disc is December 3rd, the same day the much more expensive/cool discboxes are sent out to rabid, drooling At Easers. According to the preorder page, the record label brave enough to release an album in two months that millions of fans will download legally a week from today is Parlaphone, which is a subsidiary of EMI, Radiohead’s longtime label before they became unrestricted free agents. HMV lists the price for the compact disc at £11.99, which is British for $24.36. An American label has not yet been announced. In the meantime, or for the next week anyway, check out our full In Rainbows preview here.

cool, their releasing it soon.HOWEVER, im an american and im kinda pissed that they only have something coming out in the UK for now…I know that I can and will get it for free in one week, but thats only becuse Im too young for a credit card, and it would be complicated.I want the CD, and no way im shelling out 80 bucks for a delux version. Radohead are one of the 90`s bands that continued into the 21st century, but Lost some of their popularity. Sonic Youth is one of them, and they had their comeback last year. Im hoping that In Rainbows Will be this years “Rather Ripped” (im not saying RR was that great, just that it was a comeback)

So the CD in the UK is $25?? And you wonder why illegal downloading is so big in Europe?

This isn’t true…

No, the CD is not $25 if you are in the UK. It’s 11 pounds 99 pence, and because a dollar is not the currency, they are not converting anything, it’s 11 pounds and that is a normal and reasonable, even cheap price. It’s not actually the VALUE of 25 bucks, that only happens in conversion, but when no conversion is needed it’s the value, actually, that 11 dollars would feel like to you.
It would only be $25 to YOU in American.

It’s only when you CONVERT but since they are
