You’ll get all of the above, as well as new artwork!
Fan of Radiohead’s In Rainbows? Dying for a digial copy of the album’s bonus disc that was previously only available as part of In Rainbows’ physical release? Don’t have a CD burner? Again, you’re in luck! Beginning today, Radiohead has made In Rainbows’ disc two and a slew of other previously released goods available at its a new digital download area at waste.uk.
It’s like Christmas, only for a specific, CD Burner-lacking, vinyl-loving super rich fanbase! Remind me where the money tree is again?
