EMI to Reissue Radiohead’s Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief

Evan Kaloudis·June 21, 2009

Say what you will about EMI, but their Radiohead issues (aside from the ‘Best Of’ compilation) have been great. Radiohead’s Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief are getting the reissue treatment similar to that that their first three albums received earlier this year. The reissues will be made available in 2-Disc and 3-Disc sets on August 25.

Yes, the band detests the very idea of these reissues, but look at the positives.
-The reissues aren’t unnecessarily remastered to compete in the “loudness wars”
-All of the B-sides and extras are excellent
-The Canal performance has never been officially released before
-At the very least, this will expose more people to the band

The only question now is, will EMI release any more Radiohead material after this? Will they even be able to?
