Released in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, with scooped thin cutouts along the top edge of one side, each. This copy is pretty much spotless. The dynamics, soundstage, instrument separation, and pressing quality are top notch. Listening to this copy hits different than my later presses. Honestly it’s just a treat. I know it costs silly money to experience this copy, but seeing as it has been #1 on my list for a long time… I couldn’t pass up the investment on the coincidental 25th anniversary of the record. additional complicated artwork skills supplied by matt bale @ hubdesign and mr. barry @ the whole hog.

Matrix / Runout (Side A runout): NODATA 01̶2A-1-1- I LIKE YOU, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON D VINYL BLAIR D This pressing has the 2017 remastered sound. The source is from there and the "XL Recordings" 2016 vinyl pressing has the original mastering. Both have no issues on surface noise ect. It is a matter what mastering you prefer. Personal I prefer the original mastering. It sound more raw with more low end. In the 2017 they put more upper end and the sound became brighter and thinner. Even the production is undeniably perfect for this album. 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.

The store says they will exchange it for another copy that “feels like it has the cds inside” or i could get store credit. all songs are published by warner chappell ltd. lyrics used by kind permission even though we wrote them.Another noticeable trait on OK Computer is the incredible amount of variety, yet the album still flows perfectly despite the varying styles. A bulk of the songs seamlessly morph into the next, resulting in smooth transitions and easy listening.
