Rescued from defunct formats, prised from dark cupboards and brought to light after two decades in cold storage, ‘OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017’ will be issued through XL Recordings, coinciding (roughly) with the original 1997 release date(s) of Radiohead’s landmark third album ‘OK Computer’.

‘OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017’ features the original twelve track ‘OK Computer’ album, eight B-sides and the Radiohead completist’s dream: ‘I Promise’, ‘Lift’ and ‘Man Of War’. The original studio recordings of these three previously unreleased and long sought after ‘OK Computer’ era tracks finally receive their first official issue here.

All material on ‘OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017’ is newly remastered from the original analogue tapes.

‘OK Computer’ was originally released on various dates ranging from May to July 1997. Produced by the band and Nigel Godrich, the album features the singles ‘Paranoid Android’, ‘Karma Police’, ‘Lucky’ and ‘No Surprises’ and is widely cited as one of the greatest works of Radiohead’s – or any artist’s – catalogue. ‘OK Computer’ was the first Radiohead record to reach #1 in the UK and to be nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy. In 2015, The National Recording Registry selected ‘OK Computer’ to be preserved in the Library Of Congress as a recording that has proven “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

The LP formats include a digital download card for the 23 track album.
