Thom Yorke Just Dropped a New Album Out of Nowhere

[Superdad]

Mike: Yes, it would be great to know of a current source for 24 bit versions of RH albums! Would love to get In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, Kid A--heck even the maligned Amnesiac--all in 24-bit versions as long as they have not be remixed.

Thanks,

ALEX

The 7-inch pressing of Kid A sounds terrific.

And you can get Tomorrow's Modern Boxes in FLAC - 44.1/24 - that's what I used to review the record for PFO and it sounds terrific. Just got the vinyl so I'm not sure how that sounds yet.

 

I agree on the 24-bit King of Limbs release - sounds damn good.

 

Radiohead released most of their studio albums in 44.1/24 a year or so ago briefly via their fan network.

I don't remember how to sign up honestly - I signed up many years ago when I was at Atlantic Records and they used to share new tracks over AOL Instant Messenger!! But I'll back-track to see if I can post here about how to get on the list for the higher rez stuff.

Are you referring to the 10" Kid A vinyl release? If so, Parlophone or Capitol issue? I do love the Parlophone vinyl releases of their catalog, minus the distortion at the end of Amnesiac, but it's minor.

 

I can't find anything online about any 24 bit releases, aside from KoL. I find it hard to imagine that it hasn't been discussed around the web and that said 24 bit releases haven't popped up. I would greatly appreciate any more info on these, if they do indeed exist. Thank you!

I can't even remember writing that!

I highly suggest the Parlophone vinyl, or vinyl rips as they mastered much better than the CDs. At least, until they hook up some well mastered, hi-res files.

Where did you manage to get the 24 bit version of this? I thought the download offered with the vinyl purchase was 44.1/16 ? My download was anyway..

Yes the vinyl versions I have them all and they all sound better than my CD's. In Rainbows the 45 rpm sounds amazing hands down the best version I have heard.

I have enjoyed most all of RH releases over the years, but I must say that In Rainbows has some of the most beautiful songs they have ever done. I feel like the way they released it (as a "pay what you wish" download) must have diminished its impact and significance in their catalog--and that is a shame as it really deserves more respect.
