xrecordx Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I ordered one as well....great shit I love the packaging...this is absolutely crazy!someone mentioned it is limited...true?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 makes up for any money they lost with the pick your price downloads. yeah in the same article (i remember now it was with an unnamed record exec) he said the album would make the most money FOR THE BAND than any other album ever. He also said that the processing fee for people who actually paid for the album was more than they would make on sales of the cds where they will make between 50c and $1 per cd sold. i'll try to find where i read the article but im thinking it was metacritic or ultimate-guitar...

xxmartinxx Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I read somewhere that they made a few million dollars off the "pick your price" downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 yeah i heard a million or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 well that makes sense, since they released it themselves. so no money went to any label. good for them. radiohead knows how to make money. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniethebear Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's a Radiohead album, of course it'll do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 its doing just okay so far in the store i work at. lots of people are coming in and saying they are fine with the downloaded version of it. but with that being said we put it on the shelves on the 26th and weve sold just over 50 now which is really good considering we are an indie store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 yeah, i think that kind of makes sense. "indie" supporters are probably the ones most likely to buy an album even if they've already downloaded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
googlemyass Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 yeah, i think that kind of makes sense.

tkprtyrhd Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the release that's non-discbox that's been showing up online a few places e.g. http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=42803 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the release that's non-discbox that's been showing up online a few places A few people here have gotten it already. It's a single LP as opposed the double that's in the discbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I bought it this week. It didn't come with protective any sleeve, just the record in a cardboard sleeve, which really sucked when I took it out because it made a few track marks.

jhulud Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Damn...that sucks...does it play OK though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've only played Side A and it sounded pretty good. I was prettu suprised that they wouldn't put a protective sleeve in, seems like it's a standard thing. I was so happy when I bought it though. I found it a day early because the store wasn't open New Years Day. I got a kick out of how it said copyright 2008 and it was still 2007.

googlemyass Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 by the way, the CD comes with a DIY kit. You assemble the art on the jewel case yourself. Very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 by the way, the CD comes with a DIY kit. You assemble the art on the jewel case yourself. Very interesting.

Guest falloutcollapse Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 anyone know the cheapest place to get the regular edition of in rainbows? Hot Topic has them for $14.99, but you can probably find it cheaper somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
