The website for the new Radiohead album, The King of Limbs, is offering presales in two different versions. One is a pretty straightforward digital download, available in either MP3 (for $9) or WAV ($14). But the other is what the site calls "the world's first Newspaper Album," which consists of:
• Two clear 10" vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
• A compact disc.
• Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
• The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
• The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
• Shipping is included in the prices shown.
• One lucky owner of the digital version of The King Of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12" vinyl.
All that for only $48 or $53, depending on your digital preference. All we can say is, if Radiohead manages to sell any kind of "newspaper" for $48, we're happy to hear it. And would like them to talk to our Marketing Dept.
