Radiohead ditch 'pay what you want' release style
- Published
Radiohead will release their new album on Saturday 19 February
Radiohead have ditched their "pay what you want" format for the release of their eighth studio album.
In 2007 the Oxford band allowed fans to choose what price they paid for their album In Rainbows.
But they say for the release of The King Of Limbs, out this Saturday (19 February), they'll be returning to a normal pricing structure.
The MP3 of this new album will cost £6 and the physical "newspaper" package of the album starts at £30.
Thom Yorke and co have said the physical package includes "many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together".
Since the release of their last album Radiohead members including lead singer Thom Yorke and drummer Philip Selway have been involved in side projects.
Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood played a 'surprise' gig on Glastonbury's Park Stage in summer 2010.
