Radiohead’s Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief Get Deluxe Reissue Treatment
B-sides, videos, live performances galore!
Capitol isn’t done with Radiohead yet! Thom Yorke and co. may no longer have any ties to their old label, but Capitol has the band’s entire pre–In Rainbows catalog at its disposal. And if there’s still money to be made off of these old Radioheadrecords, best believe Capitol is going to make it.
Last year, the label released a Radioheadgreatest-hits collection without the blessing of the band. We hated it. But this past March, the label released expanded double- and triple-disc versions of their first three albums, and we loved it.
See, there’s a difference between good reissues and bad reissues. The full-album reissues are the good kind. With those first three albums, Capitol crammed in every B-side and rarity they could find, and in doing so they actually managed to flesh out those classic titles (and one not-so-classic title) even further. And, of course, the albums themselves are still great. We dropped 10.0s on the expanded versions of both The Bends and OK Computer, and we’re probably not done handing out rave reviews yet.
On August 25, Capitol will complete their expanded reissue project with the next three Radiohead albums: 2000’s Kid A, 2001’s Amnesiac, and 2003’s Hail to the Thief. Once again, these reissues come stuffed to the gills with B-sides, live songs, studio sessions, and everything else that didn’t make it onto the actual albums. And the even-more-deluxe Special Collectors Editions will also come with DVDs, which will include music videos and TV performances.
Every Radiohead album after Pablo Honey is arguably a masterpiece; even Hail to the Thief has its staunch defenders. So we are eagerly awaiting these reissues, whether the band is happy about them or not, unfortunately.
