OK Computer was a huge part of my teenage years, so I'm really stoked for this. It's great to hear proper versions of big boots and lift. They really could've fucked them up from their early versions (like they did with nude and true love waits, imho), but they didn't, they sound great, in my opinion.

 

Haven't had a chance to listen to the remasters yet, but I'm looking forward to that, as well as the artwork and other stuff in the big bundle.

 

I kind of stopped paying attention around in rainbows, and it seems I need to get up to speed on the b-sides.

 

Anyone for favorite radiohead b-side?? I kind of prefer the old stuff like coke babies, banana co, how can you be sure...

Cuttooth... or Pearly. Or Polyethylene. Tough one.

"Plastic bag

Middle-class

Polyethylene"

Love that simplicity.

Is this a re-recording? Someone mentioned that, right? Thom sounds like Modern Thom.

Anyway, fave b-side: Maquiladora

I've never understood why polyethylene gets so much love

I don't hate it... it's just one of my least favorite b-sides of their post-Bends output

Hype

it's all them in the studio

i'm curious about the nude and motion picture soundtrack for sure

Wow, I hope the version of nude is closer to what they were playing live back in the late 90's. I lived off shitty live recordings of that track for so long.

Also, I think it's amazing that everyone has a different favorite b-side. Shows how good they all are.

It's gonna be that Fila Brazilia mix I'm sure. Great mix doe

Ah I forgot about that one, I haven't listened to it in years. Thanks for reminding me.

Got the blue vinyl set yesterday. So lush.

Sounds really good too! Haven't got around to the bonus tracks/b-sides yet, but apparently all that stuff had the remaster treatment as well.

The motion picture soundtrack is unbelievable!

 

Absolutely. It's definitely Thom's best vocal performance ever. The electronic version of Climbing Up The Walls is great too

It's wonderful, felt a bit guilty buying the megabox but it's pretty much perfect.

Got the blue and now I think I'm in for the box - is it sturdy and well made? I hear the journals and stuff are pretty incredible It seems a bit spendy for 130 but what you say? Worth it?

Ok now I want to hear a rip of the tape...

It couldn't be any better, feels really high-end.

Got it delivered the other day but not had time to open it for investigation. Looking forward to it even though I lost interest after Kid A and haven't listened to OK Computer in years.

SEEK out the kind SOUL who split both sides into individual tracks.

The cassette tape has a ZX Spectrum program at the end:

Yea, that is fantastic

This tape is such a gem. What a peek behind the curtain...

It's on Spotify. I like the Man of War. OK Computer is for me where Radiohead starts. Mostly listen to Karma, Paranoid, Exit Music...

Anyone knowing what they did about remastering? Typical stuff, overcompressing? Or tuings to the stereo image? Most often "Remaster" meant making it worse, because there seem to be way too many shitty mastering engineers out there.

I don't care about ancient technology like cassettes or vinyl.

BTW. Ae. On Elseq tracks have no room to breath and according to the waveforms, the whole thing is just too crowded until 0db. wat

lol

holy crap the tape is awesome!

word

omg, that early version of nude was my holy grail for a large portion of my late teens / early 20s

I dont usually go in for re-releases, but this is amazing. Remaster is perfect. The stuff on the tape is something I never thought I'd hear. What a nostalgia trip, I feel like that angsty kid again listening to this. Fuck man, I forgot how important they are to my personal history
