Radiohead: The Best Of

Some might argue it's OK Computer. Others say it's The Bends. But now there's no need to fight which record is Radiohead's best, as the band is about to release an official Radiohead: The Best Of collection on June 3, on Capitol/EMI instead of by free download (we couldn't hope for that again, could we?)

Most exciting is that the collection will be available on CD, Limited Edition double-CD, quadruple vinyl (!!!), or by digital download.

Here are the details:

The band's first ever career retrospective, to be made available both physically and digitally, Radiohead: The Best Of brings together the singles, key album tracks and live favorites spanning the band's entire Parlophone Records and Capitol Records career.

Radiohead: The Best Of will be available in the following formats and configurations:
*1CD collection featuring 17 tracks
*Special Edition 2CD, adding 13 tracks
*4-piece vinyl set with 29 tracks
*17-track & 30-track digital downloads
*DVD featuring 21 classic promo videos (A separate announcement with additional DVD details will follow.)
