(Part 2) Top products from r/radiohead

Oh sure, look it up. If I were smart, that's what I would have done. ;-)

To save other people the trouble:

Pablo Honey

The Bends

OK Computer

Kid A - due to the lack of singles (and B-sides), this might actually be the worst collector's edition, which is amazing because this album is awesome awesome.

Amnesiac

Hail To The Thief

In Rainbows

I guess it almost comes down to which album you like the best. I'm a big fan of The Bends, so I enjoy that pop driven second disc more than somebody who tuned in after Kid A (for example). What do you like, OP?

Just don't get anything with all in one built in speakers.

I Suggest an Audio Technica LP60

https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60-Automatic-Stereo-Turntable/dp/B002GYTPAE

Or if it is in you budget go for the Audio Technica LP120

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP120-USB-Direct-Drive-Professional-Turntable/dp/B002S1CJ2Q/ref=pd_lpo_267_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T848DSA2YQ93CZPQTNSS

I started off with an Audio Technica LP120 and still use it to this day. It is about two years old now with no problems what so ever.
The thing to note is that you will need speakers to add to it with to start off with i just used computer speakers until I upgraded my speakers last year. But i reckon the LP60 would be great as well, audio technica are imo a great brand.

Maybe this could be of assistance

Then the fun addicting part truly begins once you have a turntable to spin all you favourite albums. Plus even though it is gimmicky and less superior to black vinyl (according to people but i see no major difference) there are coloured vinyl which range from all difference fantastic colours from pressing to pressing. They look so awesome!

Example here (from one of my fav bands King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's album 12 Bar Bruise):

Anyway enjoy Hail to the Thief when you spin as it is my fav album ever and first record I ever owned : ) !!!

I can also recommend this book of sheet music dedicated to Kid A and [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Piano-Songbook-Radiohead-Radioheads-Biggest/dp/0739077848/ref=sr_1_1) of Radiohead's greatest hits (although surprisingly Kid A isn't in the latter).

I was sad the day I learned that it was taken down. There's a lower quality version here. If you're willing to buy it, it's on the special edition three disc set. I'll probably pick it up someday. I'm sure there are some torrents out there, but I'm not the guy to ask. I would love to find a good quality video of this. It's easily one of my favorite performances.

Thanks!

Yes they're 'framed'. I bought these super simple ones off amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IBZ1CDK/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1499042697&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=record+frame&dpPl=1&dpID=41ubShy70PL&ref=plSrch

They're resizable which was good for my 10' ones.

This looks awesome. I love this kind of extended criticism. Though they don't have very good reviews I thought the 33 1/3rd's dedicated to Kid A and OK Computer were at least worthwhile - you'd probably find them interesting if you haven't read them already.

I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD 598. They are literally the best headphones you can get for under $200! Radiohead is a band that has a lot of intimate and detailed songs. These are open-backed headphones so the sound stage is really wide and makes you feel like you're their with band! Also I recommend these for any genre of music really; if you want an intimate and detailed experience.

Not remotely special. It's still available at the official store and you can get it for dirt cheap on Amazon.. It does seem to have gone up a bit in value a bit over the past year or so though. That said, it's still a great, really cool little book with beautiful artwork.

For a long time the version of Kid A with the hidden booklet was considerably harder to find.

that's a good move! I have been working on accurate sheet music for anything I love and can't find...still working on making them correct. PM me and I can help out. These books are the best so far:

https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Shaped-Piano-Voice-Guitar/dp/0571539602/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-8

https://www.amazon.com/Piano-Songbook-Radiohead-Radioheads-Biggest/dp/0739077848/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-1

https://www.amazon.com/Radiohead-Kid-Piano-Vocal-Guitar/dp/0757992471/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-7

The '28 Biggest Hits' is a treasure trove, though some mistakes. AMSP is golden. Kid A is a cheap publisher but accurate.

Quite a few books have been referenced in interviews - here's some of the ones I think I remember. They're all very good books despite any association with Radiohead, by the way.

The Crying of Lot 49 (also V. and Gravity's Rainbow)

I would recommend Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless by Martin Clarke or Radiohead: Welcome to the Machine: OK Computer and the Death of the Classic Album by Tim Footman. Hope this helps!

Easiest to use out-of-the-box that will actually sound decent? U-Turn Orbit: http://uturnaudio.com/

Less expensive, simpler? (this one has a built-in preamp so that you can plug it in to any stereo system, regardless of whether or not your stereo system has a specific 'PHONO' input)
http://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60-Automatic-Driven-Turntable/dp/B002GYTPAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420575585&sr=8-1&keywords=audio+technica+turntable

*EDIT:

Also, definitely don't want to rain on your parade! Just don't want you to damage your records. Also, there will be an ENORMOUS difference in sound quality with a decent turntable. It will make you want to buy more records :)

$100 and you could live your dream. Just get a stand alone speaker set up and you're set.

It's not the most amazing piece of equipment in the audio world, but it gets the job done. If you're spending $50 on a CD, you could splurge $100 for a competent turntable. Treat yo'self.

i could get that right now with free 2 day shipping

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In fact I was thinking on that too but found this one of the same brand a lot cheaper:

Audio Technica AT-LP60BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.tZYxbNFPFTA4

The downside it's the lack of support of 78 RPM but if radiohead vinyls are 45 or 33 it would work.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, dope. Thanks!

You can learn more about these types of things in this book. Like how high and dry was one of the first songs thom ever wrote etc. Im not sure how valid it is but when i read it i didnt find any faults with the info i already knew

it’s here:

Ok Computer [VINYL] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01F0XPTIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ot73CbM20FGQJ

TKOL on sale on amazon right now!

https://www.amazon.com/King-Limbs-180g-Radiohead/dp/B01F0XNZ5S/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_7

I found some CD here for $2 but other than that there don't seem to be any legal channels to buy it

You can take a peek with the "look inside" feature from Amazon.

Stanley Donwood actually has some short story collections:

Also, for books Radiohead fans ought to read, the book No Logo was a huge influence on Kid A and Amnesiac and they considered using it as the title for Kid A:

https://www.amazon.com/No-Logo-Anniversary-Introduction-Author/dp/0312429274

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Knives-Out-Cd2-CD-2/dp/B00005NBRO That is the one I'm looking for.

http://www.amazon.com/Kid-Limited-Radiohead/dp/B00004Z511

They weren't written on the same day, but Thom Yorke: Radiohead & Trading Solo claims that they were written in the same year.

Sennheiser 598s will change your life without totally breaking the bank. Think they cost a lot more when I got my (better-sounding-than-ever) pair five or six years ago.

I have a copy of Dead Children Playing, I'd totally buy another book of artwork.

Edit- to add link

https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Children-Playing-Picture-Book/dp/1781689091

You could buy him a copy of Dead Children Playing

I live in America and I'm getting May 20 for The King of Limbs vinyl/CD.

http://www.amazon.com/King-Limbs-Radiohead/dp/B01F0XNZ5S/

I'd check out Marvin Lins take on Kid A in his 33 1/3

http://www.amazon.com/Radioheads-Kid-33-Marvin-Lin/dp/0826423434

I found it on amazon yesterday, it’s a RH authorized book, and Stanley Donwood designed it

What's the difference between that one and this one?
https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Donwood-There-Will-Quiet/dp/0500021880/ref=pd_sbs_14_2/141-5417929-8561722?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0500021880&pd_rd_r=a1983a17-6281-4f5a-bb6b-1dfb01685a92&pd_rd_w=lYxwi&pd_rd_wg=CyGJE&pf_rd_p=43281256-7633-49c8-b909-7ffd7d8cb21e&pf_rd_r=EKSHTR5VG3F1FSG7QJBK&psc=1&refRID=EKSHTR5VG3F1FSG7QJBK

Meh, that's not a special edition, it's a discbox with 2 vinyl, what he's referring to is this kind of special edition.

No, but I recommend this
