openupyourskull Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Since this is radiohead related, anyone have an original pressing of ok computer? I really really want it. I do - it's probably my favorite record I own (most likely because it's my favorite album of all time...). The sound is incredible. Definitely worth the few extra bucks instead of buying the Capitol repress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah I have the Capitol and it sounds like a pile of shit. Same with kid a. Maybe I'll just go buy them when I get paid next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I was lucky enough to begin working on my Radiohead collection before the Capitol presses even existed. I have the original import versions of every LP except Pablo Honey. All of them sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 i have in rainbows, httt, king of limbs, eraser, and now amok. I need the rest. Except pablo hony which i dont care for at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 also, i'd like to know why this thread has so many views. over 100k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Definitely get an OG OK Computer at some point. I bought mine back when it came out and have cherished it ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm still on the search for original pressings of Pablo Honey, Kid A, and Amnesiac but I have everything else. Most I've had to import but a few I've found domestically (was pretty cool finding an import of HTTT in a small record shop for 30 bucks.) I still need a bunch of singles and such but god damn, Radiohead stuff is expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I think mine is the parlophone uk repress from 2008. I'm guessing its different? It has the same deadwax etchings though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main difference is the 180g vinyl - the etchings are all the same I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 But is the mastering different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know for sure but I'm going to assume no. This is what Capitol says about the "From the Vaults" reissue series, but yours might be different if it's the UK version which I think was issued under EMI: Each title in the series is faithfully restored to audiophile sound quality standards and pressed on heavy duty 180g vinyl.

circuit bored records Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Do they go for a lot? I picked up an OG OK computer off eBay for less than $20 about six months ago... Didn't think they went up that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robes Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Anyone find an outer sleeve that fits with the deluxe AMOK LP? this thing is way too big for standard sleeves. dreamover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceghost Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 You need a wide one. Here's what I do. Go to your local RS, buy an LP and ask for a single wide sleeve instead of a standard one. Then you don't have to buy a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you don't have to buy a bunch. Tried that in the past, problem is that the record stores in this area only carry the standard ones.

I still need a bunch of singles and such but god damn, Radiohead stuff is expensive! The singles are what's stopping me. I wish they would just compile the b-sides and put them on a full-length. Their b-sides are so good, especially from the Pablo to OK era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah I happened to have a huge sleeve that fit this. This LP looks and sounds amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 My deluxe came today and it's glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heypeterman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Received my deluxe from XL today! Need to clean before I play it but the packaging is excellent! I got two download cards too. This seems to be happening to me pretty often. Wonder if that's the norm now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be happening to me pretty often. Wonder if that's the norm now? Sharing is caring I don't see a deluxe up on the amoeba site anymore. Just the standard. Might have to stop by the LA store and take a peek. Field trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j67ab Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I put mine in sideways into a regular sleeve, fits fine like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be happening to me pretty often. Wonder if that's the norm now? Well, I got mine from Amoeba a couple days ago and it was missing the download card. Emailed XL right away but haven't heard back. A PM would be awesome if anyone wants to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
