Surprised this hasn't been posted here.

Stereogum Article

quote:

As a user on the Radiohead subreddit points out, 18 Minidiscs billed as the entire OK Computer sessions have leaked online. Fans in that Reddit community created a Google Doc indexing what’s included on each of the discs.

A lot of fans who’ve heard the leak seem ecstatic about a previously unreleased version of “Lift,” presumably the one the band shelved because they were afraid it would be another “Creep”-level hit. And that’s only the beginning. The archive supposedly includes nearly 18 hours of demos, alternate takes, and early live recordings. There are in-progress versions of tunes every Radiohead fan knows and loves, and there are sketches no Radiohead fan even knew about before now. There are unfinished recordings of rarities like “Last Flowers” and songs that eventually came out in wildly different formats, like “Nude” and “True Love Waits.” It’s a lot to consume. It’s a lot to think about. For those of us who once spent long nights digging around Napster for every last bit of unheard Radiohead music, it’s pretty damn exciting.


I have not had time to search for this stuff, but it's being labeled "Radiohead minidisc" 1, 2, 3 etc on sites. I've heard that it's got a lot of interesting things on it. Anyone listen to any of it?

Update: Band released content on bandcamp to listen and you can buy it all for 18 pounds. bandcamp

These guys have exhausted their desire to not have popular music. Why tour if you don’t want a bunch of people to like what you do.

This narrative of theirs is tiring.

As long as they keep making the best music in the world they can do whatever they want.

That description of “Lift” piques my interest, but I’m not delving into 18 hours of stuff to hear it. I’ll hear it when someone breaks it up into tracks.

They put out Lift in 2017, this is from the sessions so it's the same recording

Lift Official video

ETA: doing more research , apparently lift is a different version and much better than the one I just posted, can't wait to find it

Yep. The Lift in this leak should be a good bit different. Haven’t heard it yet but will soon I’m sure.

Alright folks...it's our lucky day.

quote:

We got hacked last week - someone stole Thom’s minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it. So instead of complaining - much - or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion: LINK Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom. Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it’s only tangentially interesting. And very, very long. Not a phone download. Rainy out, isn’t it though?


Alt version of Lift is at 10:00 mark of track MD125. It is pretty great!

This site has a thorough listing of all the tracks included and how to find them. Google Docs

It's cheaper than a lobotomy. Might be more painful.

If you look at how empty their last New Orleans show was, maybe they are working towards their goal.


That was embarrassing

Lol. They sold out MSG 4 times in the same week last year.

They only made this available for 18 days.

I found the lift version (incredible) but does anyone have the full download?

I can't find it now.
