While that's not necessarily true, I once found myself so mad after receiving the wrong copy that I was ready to verbally assault the seller. Had this shelved for a while so pulled it out for a recent play - where it’s good it’s phenomenal but….

I started with a 2008 Capitol pressing back in the day as my first copy, and picked up OKNOTOK in 2017. If you are proud of your stereo on a quality standpoint you definitely need to get a copy just to hear it.Matrix / Runout (Side D runout): NODATA 01̶2D-1-1- I'M AN IMPORTANT PERSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME HOME WITH ME? It's beautiful, mysterious, scary, and thought-provoking; a record that will indefinitely be a future classic.

A bulk of the songs seamlessly morph into the next, resulting in smooth transitions and easy listening. Artistic freedom in the market place maintained by keith wozencroft and tony wadsworth with perry watts-russell. Released in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, with scooped thin cutouts along the top edge of one side, each. Even at its most adventurous -- such as the complex, multi-segmented "Paranoid Android" -- the band is tight, melodic, and muscular, and Thom Yorke's voice effortlessly shifts from a sweet falsetto to vicious snarls. There are slight differences between all of them (surface noise, sibilance, etc) but it's super minor.First thing I noticed was the edge being thicker than normal and completely flat instead of beveled, playing it for the first time was an adventure because of how warped it was. Dear Radiohead, please completely revamp and kick to the curb your vinyl chain/vendors, because it's a disaster.

But keep in mind most of us (Radiohead fans) are obnoxious audiophiles and minor league drama queens. So I bit the bullet and got the 3LP Blue because everyone said it's the bee's knees and damn were they right. The lyrics vary from songs about running away from home ("Exit Music") to homicidal insanity ("Climbing Up the Walls"). However, I don't know if this is just a me thing, but on side eeny, the little center paper thingy is off center, causing the needle to scrape through it slightly.

Like others mentioned, this vinyl is unfortunately heavy/compressed/sounding, not mastered well imo. Some of their newer efforts (Kid A and Amnesiac) seem to be over-baked or the instruments seem too distant from each other, but with help from producer Nigel Godrich, Radiohead have created a multi-layered soundscape that flawlessly combines a live band atmosphere with a studio environment. audio fixing and dubbing done at mayfair, abbey road, air lyndhurst, courtyard and the church using the wonders of a digital and and analogue age. I bought it under that impression and based on the matching numbers that i believed were an indication of it being the coloured vinyl. I was under the impression it was the blue version because its 3 lps, made in the uk, and the barcode and matrix number listed on the outer packaging all match up to that version.

Recently I purchased the 2013 because honestly there is such minor differences between that and an original that I said f**k this and am totally satisfied. The overall theme of OK Computer seems to be more or less a satire on modern life; mocking our choice of living -- a far departure from the less complex lyrics of their sophomore effort The Bends.

From the chaotic, distorted guitar in "Airbag" to the simple bell hit in "The Tourist", OK Computer drags you through an array of emotions, leaving your body in a state of euphoria. Not a huge fan of the album, honestly, but my friend has a 2LP Black copy that he let me borrow and damn it sounded amazing. Each song is a climactic hellride, and although some of the songs have a minor tone, they somehow emit an uplifting feeling. Both of those copies satisfied me over time, but I have been craving the original UK Parlophone pressing for a long time to get as close as possible to the original master. Thom then sings an ascending vocal melody that raises the intensity meter to 11, but the music soon trips over itself; falling back on the acoustic guitar and tape loop.
