However, don't expect to be able to walk down to your local record shop to purchase the record.
It is being made in two distinct formats. Digital download and Disc box.
The digital download which will be available october 10th "consists of the new album In Rainbows . It does not include the Extra Material contained in the Disc Box. You can download the file digitally from the 10th of October 2007.
YOUR PURCHASE MAY BE SUBJECT TO A TRANSACTION FEE. THIS WILL BE SHOWN AT THE CHECKOUT."
The tracklisting is as follows:
15 STEP
BODYSNATCHERS
NUDE
WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
ALL I NEED
FAUST ARP
RECKONER
HOUSE OF CARDS

How much is it for the digital download you ask? Radiohead have left it up to you to decide how much you want to pay. No joke. At checkout you are asked to put in a price in £. No pre-set price. They are putting everybody on the honor system.
How freaking cool is that?
Well, not nearly as freaking cool as the disc box.
