Radiohead


The Radiohead Box Set is a collection of the English rock band's first six studio albums and one live album, released on December 10, 2007. The set includes CDs, a USB stick, and a downloadable version. It comprises the albums Pablo Honey (1993), The Bends (1995), OK Computer (1997), Kid A (2000), Amnesiac (2001), I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (2001), and Hail to the Thief (2003). Radiohead had no involvement in the release, which was seen as a retaliation by EMI after the band chose not to renew their contract, instead self-releasing their seventh album, In Rainbows, in 2007. The box set was released the same week as the In Rainbows special edition, with EMI reportedly trying to release it as a competitive move. Radiohead expressed frustration over the release, which some commentators viewed as an attempt to undermine the band's independence. The box set was marketed through a Google Ads campaign that mistakenly advertised it alongside In Rainbows, though EMI later attributed this to an error.
