Rescued from defunct formats, prized from dark cupboards and brought to light after two decades in cold storage… OKNOTOK will be issued on XL Recordings, coinciding (roughly) with the original 1997 release date(s) of Radiohead’s landmark third album OK COMPUTER. OKNOTOK features the original OK COMPUTER twelve track album, eight B-sides, and the Radiohead completist’s dream: “I Promise,” “Lift,” and “Man Of War.” The original studio recordings of these three previ-ously unreleased and long sought after OK COMPUTER era tracks finally receive their first official issue on OKNOTOK. All material on OKNOTOK is newly remastered from the original ana-logue tapes.Reviews:
The OKNOTOK BOXED EDITION will ship July, featuring a black box emblazoned with a dark image of a burned copy of OK COMPUTER containing three heavyweight 180 gram black 12” vinyl records and a hardcover book containing more than thirty artworks (many of which have never been seen before) and full lyrics to all the tracks (except the ones that haven’t really got any lyrics). Under this weighty tome are yet more surprises: a notebook containing 104 pages from Thom Yorke’s library of scrawled notes of the time, a sketchbook containing 48 pages of Donwood and Tchock’s “preparatory work” and a C90 cassette mix tape compiled by the band, taken from OK COMPUTER session archives and demo tapes.
OK COMPUTER was originally released on various dates ranging fromMay to July 1997. Produced by the band and Nigel Godrich, the album iswidely cited as one of the greatest works of Radiohead’s--or any artist’s--catalogue and was the first Radiohead record to reach #1 in the UK andto be be nominated for the Album of the Year GRAMMY. Featuring sin-gles “Paranoid Android,” “Karma Police,” “Lucky” and “No Surprises,” OK COMPUTER has sold in excess of five million copies worldwide. In2015, The National Recording Registry selected OK COMPUTER to bepreserved in the Library of Congress as a recording that has proven “cul-turally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
