The anthemic guitar heroics present on Pablo Honey and even The Bends are nowhere to be heard here. Using the textured soundscapes of The Bends as a launching pad, Radiohead delivered another startlingly accomplished set of modern guitar rock with OK Computer. In 2015, The National Recording Registry selected OK COMPUTER to be preserved in the Library of Congress as a recording that has proven “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. Produced by the band and Nigel Godrich, the album is widely 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 and to be be nominated for the Album of the Year GRAMMY. OK COMPUTER was originally released on various dates ranging from May to July 1997. “OK Computer: OKNOTOK 1997-2017” featuring remastered OK COMPUTER album plus B-Sides and 3 Never Before Released Tracks: “I Promise”, “Lift”, and “Man Of War”, rescued from defunct formats, prized from dark cupboards and brought to light after two decades in cold storage! All material on OKNOTOK is newly remastered from the original analogue tapes.

So instead of complaining - much - or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours,” Jonny Greenwood said in a statement. (You just need to act fast, as it’ll only be available for purchase until the end of the month.) “Someone stole Thom’s minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it.
Per Pitchfork, all of the songs are now available for purchase on Radiohead’s official Bandcamp page for a cool $23, with the proceeds going to Extinction Rebellion, a climate activist group. A day after 18 hours of Radiohead OK Computer sessions (recorded around 1997) were leaked online, the band has decided to make the best of an unfortunate invasion of privacy. C’mon, hackers - we wanted more of the Phantom Thread score, get your priorities straight.
