Generally, Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. on the east coast isn’t the best times to announce plans for a new release. But the artist at hand in this particular announcement isn’t any ordinary artist and the items being released aren’t any ordinary items.
On August 25th, Capitol Records will look to followup the first part of its Radiohead reissues that went down earlier this year with part number two. According to Pitchfork, on that day, the label, which used to own Thom Yorke and Co. before they went “Oh, no, you didn’t!” and went all In Rainbows on its ass, will look to complete its expanded reissue project with the release of 2000’s Kid A, 2001’s Amnesiac, and 2003’s Hail to the Thief.
Much like the reissues back in March, these particular releases will be chock-full of goodies, including b-sides, live songs, and studio sessions, further illustrating that if major labels really wanted to, they could actually be cool… or still find a way to make lots of money.
Of course, all this comes on the heels of Radiohead’s own recent announcement of the opening of the band’s new online store, meaning, well, Radiohead fans are going to be experiencing some massive debt in the coming months. Good thing the band doesn’t have a couple one-off plans that will tempt die-hards to shell out thousands of dollars..
..oh, wait.
