itsgoodtobefree Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Here are my overall thoughts on this: I sort of wish they opened the vaults more for this release. When the rumors about a deluxe OK Computer started making rounds, I fantasized about a Pet Sounds Sessions-esque release — Original album, new mix, instrumentals, acapella tracks, demos, b-sides, etc. All that’s new here is the remastering (which I doubt will be that significant) and the 3 unreleased tracks. While this new set includes the 8 studio b-sides, there are four b-sides missing that were on some of the CD singles. Two live tracks from No Surprises, and two remixes from Karma Police. I think the band are going for an “OK Computer Pt. 2” type release, which would make sense why they wouldn’t want to include those. The 3LP set is a pretty good value for $40, but the deluxe box set is not worth $100 more, in my opinion. Is a box, a cassette, a book, and more artwork really worth $100? We’ll see. This is the most expensive deluxe set Radiohead’s ever put out, so quite a high bar has been set. The wording regarding the remastering is really odd on the website: “all newly remastered from the original analogue tapes* *But why? The original analogue tapes are the highest definition version of the record, and nothing will ever beat them. However in the 20 years since the original release mastering technology has improved a lot, and with new equipment and techniques we can make a digital version that's an improvement of the original transfer.” So are they saying they’re digitally remastered? It sounds like they forgot to say “all newly digitally remastered” in the first part. Regardless, my Parlophone pressing of OK Computer and all of its 12” singles (plus the 7” of Paranoid Android) sound AMAZING. I highly doubt that this release will compare in terms of quality, but I hope it does. Pressing quality is a concern considering what happened with A Moon Shaped Pool. I was hoping for a complete b-sides box set at some point. With this existing, I don’t see that happening (until maybe 20 years from now!). Now I’ll just hope for boxes of the remaining albums, but they’ve already skipped Pablo Honey and The Bends, so… maybe not? Finally, they need to reissue the promo floppy disk: lethalenforcer, Velocity of Sound and niblips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Weird. FatBeats description says "180 Gram Opaque Blue Vinyl, limited to 4,000 copies worldwide." Must be a mistake, but with the rate these are selling out it'd make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered one, I have a confirmation number and a confirmation email. Are these guys reliable? Or my money is a goner? Thank you so much. I will wait until it is confirmed, that they can sell the blue Vinyl and then I will cancel at resident music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'll be honest... If not for the blue vinyl, I would've waited on this. If only to hear reviews. I have the Parlophone press and I doubt this will be an improvement. Having all the (studio) B-sides on vinyl in one spot, plus the unreleased songs, is worth it however... if they do the pressing right.

LOL i did. my first order was placed with blue moose hours ago, and i still havent got a confirmation email. so when amoeba posted it i jumped at it and got a copy just to be safe. i have a feeling my BM order might not get filled because a minute after i placed my order they closed the pre-order.
