• Despite taking pre-orders on their site for Radiohead’s In Rainbows, music retailer HMV, as well as Radiohead’s management, now deny that a physical CD of the new album will be released on December 3rd. HMV blamed the pre-order page, which also incorrectly claimed Parlaphone would distribute the album, on an “over-enthusiastic member of staff.” He’s so fired. The band’s management repeated that the CD will likely hit stores in 2008. As for a potential record label, Billboard says ATO Records is the current frontrunner in a race that includes Warner Bros. and EMI, which had been Radiohead’s home until 2005.
