In Rainbows

Product Information

Days after Radiohead signed to XL, EMI announced a box set of Radiohead albums recorded before In Rainbows, released in the same week as the In Rainbows special edition. Radiohead were reportedly angered by the release, [58] and commentators including the Guardian saw it as retaliation for the band choosing not to sign with EMI. [82] Hands defended the reissues as necessary to boost EMI's revenues and said "we don't have a huge amount of reasons to be nice [to Radiohead]". [58] The box set was promoted on Google Ads with an advert falsely claiming that In Rainbows was included. EMI removed it, citing a "data source glitch". A spokesperson for Radiohead said they accepted this was a genuine mistake. [83] Promotion [ edit ] Webcasts [ edit ] Colothan, Scott (11 October 2007).
