OK COMPUTER - OKNOTOK 1997 - 2017

Description

Remastered from the original analog tapes, OK Computer gets a reissue worthy of its legendary status for its 20th anniversary. OK COMPUTER OKNOTOK 1997 - 2017 is comprised of the album's twelve original tracks, augmented by eight B-sides and three unreleased tracks – 'I Promise', 'Lift', and 'Man Of War' – recorded during the same period but never before published. These 23 tracks are available as a beautiful double CD version and a triple vinyl version. Released between May and July 1997, OK Computer is often cited as one of the best, if not the best, albums in the Oxford band's discography. The first Radiohead album to top the British charts, multi-certified worldwide, nominated for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Album at the Grammy Awards, praised by critics and revered by an army of fans, their third album definitively cemented Thom Yorke's band as a cult group. Produced in collaboration with the illustrious Nigel Godrich, OK Computer features essential tracks for any respectable playlist or chart, such as 'Paranoid Android', 'Karma Police', 'Lucky', and 'No Surprises', and serves as an ultimate reference for many artists and bands. A major work of the 90s, it is above all a powerful denunciation of consumerism, capitalism, and social malaise in a world that moves too fast. These are themes that still resonate terribly 20 years later.
