Anyone gonna buy this? I'm not for two reasons 1. Radiohead didn't give permission and 2. I already have all the songs.

    I probably would as I am a casual fan.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Isn't there a DVD or something with it? Seems to me there was some incentive for people who had the whole catalog.

    well i dont really have my finger on the pulse but i wouldnt say they're huge here, i mean i cant remember i heard a radiohead song on the radio or saw a video of theirs on the music channels. They do have big reputation with the media.

    huge in england? theyre RADIOHEAD!!! their reputation alone warrants a greatest hits. with or without their consent or approval. and besides the record company can basically do what they want with the songs they have rights to. hence that boxed set.

    oh and no i wont be buying it cause i ahve them all already. :)

    Sigur Ros is amazing and a top 5 band personally for me, but until they put out timeless album after timeless album like Radiohead---they will still be behind Radiohead

    Yeah.......they will be on my must-see list at Bonnaroo as well. However, I agree. I don't see four albums together from them even in the same neighborhood of equaling The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows.

    If I could, think I would give in.

    It would have been nice if there was a bonus disc or something along with it. Not worth it for me cause i got all the songs.

    i think it comes with a dvd of their videos, might be worth it just for that.

    Damn, that's fucking slick alright. Given the FACT that Radiohead makes sweet ass music videos, I might just buy the damn.

    Classic videos: Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Knives Out, Fake Plastic Tree...

    No need to fret, you can buy the DVD separately. 21 videos on it, including all the stuff previously on 7 TV Commercials. I too have all the songs on the GH already, but I'll definitely be picking up the DVD.
  • ZAPPERZAPPER Posts: 252
    i think everything is packaged separately -

    - CD ~$12
    - CD special edition ~$20
    - DVD ~$16
    - Vinyl ~ $69.99 msrp
    ..........hmmmmm

    basically, they (bigwigs who own the rights to these songs) are trying to sell as much as possible. dont know if its true but i heard EMI got pissed about the whole free in rainbows thing and decided to release a whole bunch of stuff (old stuff that is) to make a whole bunch of dough, to kinda screw the band and to make up for $ loss because of in rainbows.

    A lot of people are pissed about the selection of songs, and hard core fans are pissed about everything about it. I was thinking of getting the vinyl, saw it at amoeba for $75 - screw that! but as soon as i put it down, some girl came and scooped it up real fast, worker bee told me was already sold out everywhere and they only had a few to begin with. It seems whatever they want to charge, people will still eat it up - and it kinda sucks the band wont see a dime probably

    I felt the same way. I did grab a rapidshare link from someone and checked it out.

    It's sure nice to make a Radiohead mix with it and have all the track a constant volume. It's sure nice to listen to tunes from 'Pablo Honey' and 'The Bends' in 2008 mastering/volume output levels.

    That is the nice thing about this, at least every song 'sounds' consistant to the one before or after, reguardless of which ablum the tune is from.

    Tracklisting looks good for a beginner. I'm surprised to see Everything in Its Right Place on this. Love that song.

    Ok, so i broke down and bought the DVD. Anyway i think it's funny how in the credits for every song it says "The copyright in this audiovisual recording is owned by EMI Records LTD." I guess in case any one wants to give them grief about it not being authorized by Radiohead.

    Yes.

    Creep, Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, Street Spirit, Karma Police, No Surprises, Airbag. All successful singles.

    One of the few bands of the last 20 years to have both massive and almost universal critical acclaim as well as commercial success.

    this is the great thing that people on this board don't seem to understand at all. especially with pearl jam. in this case radiohead.

    radiohead doesn't own the masters to ANY of their recordings with parlaphone. the band doesn't need to give permission.

    someday epic will go ape shit with pearl jam reissues and greatest hits. pearl jam won't be able to do shit about it.
