Looks like the last few sold for $40-50 on ebay, so they have it marked at market value.

If I had the disposable income I would but only for Radiohead lol

It is happening!   Good news to canadians.... You will owe $20 in import taxes.  Wooooooooo 

so am I after watching that unboxing vid.. 

Yeah, its a pretty obvious box on the shelf even w/o the spine.
 
When I realized you could turn it to have it fit, it was a game changer.

I turned my IR box so the spine is on the top and it fits in my Expedit/Kallax fine.
 
 

Just dropped the needles and its a quiet pressing.
 
Immediate impression.  Low surface noise.   Nice dynamics and deep full bass.  
 
Sounds great to me.   
 
Really appreciating the detail and sound stage. 
 
They put a loop in at the end of side a. The first little blip from national anthem.   Cant remember that being there on the 10" pressing. 
 
Still wish I didnt have to change sides every couple tracks. 
 
Was the source truly remastered? Gonna have to a/b with older cuts.   Sounds true to the recording I know and love so if remastered its not jarring in its differences.  Wouldnt surprise me if it was though, some details I am picking up on that I never noticed before. 
 
Halfway thru first record and no issues with the pressing. Large format art work is rad. 
 
I think they nailed this pressing. 
A/b'd it with my old UK pressing and this beats it imho.   Clearer bass, better detail and does sound remastered to me. 
 
Will be my go to.

Will report back when home.   Just gave it a quick spin on the shops table

45rpm takes up more space on a record but theoretically allows for a higher fidelity sound. It's not practical for most full-length LPs because it means only 2-3 songs fit on each side, but since they're only putting 2-3 songs on each side anyway, and all Radiohead fans are huge nerds who would immediately buy this new pressing for the promise of higher sound quality, it's kind of weird that they went with 33 rpm.

yeah, its up on discogs now.  https://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Kid-A/release/9097173
 
i am off now to get it.. will spin and report back.. have a pretty decent setup so should be pretty obvious how they stack up to the 10" cuts.

fine.. i'll go pick up my copy and report back.. the things I do for you guys!
