Radiohead: In Rainbows to be given away on October 10
Radiohead is shocking the industry by giving away their new album, In Rainbows, asking fans to pay what they want. “It’s up to you,” reads their website, to decide what the album is worth. Radiohead is only charging a minimum payment of 45 pence to cover credit card handling fees according to the Telegraph‘s report.
In Rainbows will also be released as a discbox that cost £40.00 to make. In Rainbows discbox will ship on December 3, but will include a digital download, accessible on October 10.
Radiohead‘s In Rainbows discbox includes two 12 inch heavyweight vinyl records and two CDs:
“This consists of the new album, In Rainbows, on CD and on 2 x 12 inch heavyweight vinyl records. A second, enhanced CD contains more new songs, along with digital photographs and artwork. The discbox also includes artwork and lyric booklets. All are encased in a hardback book and slipcase.”
In Rainbows will be released on October 10 without the help of a record label, and Radiohead will benefit 100% without a record label to split profits with. Radiohead will also gain from increased concert ticket sales. In Rainbows breaks a four year silence since Hail to the Thief was released in 2003.
