Even at its most adventurous -- such as the complex, multi-segmented "Paranoid Android" -- the band is tight, melodic, and muscular, and Thom Yorke's voice effortlessly shifts from a sweet falsetto to vicious snarls. audio fixing and dubbing done at mayfair, abbey road, air lyndhurst, courtyard and the church using the wonders of a digital and and analogue age. But keep in mind most of us (Radiohead fans) are obnoxious audiophiles and minor league drama queens. Each song is a climactic hellride, and although some of the songs have a minor tone, they somehow emit an uplifting feeling. Had this shelved for a while so pulled it out for a recent play - where it’s good it’s phenomenal but….

I was under the impression it was the blue version because its 3 lps, made in the uk, and the barcode and matrix number listed on the outer packaging all match up to that version. Dear Radiohead, please completely revamp and kick to the curb your vinyl chain/vendors, because it's a disaster. Artistic freedom in the market place maintained by keith wozencroft and tony wadsworth with perry watts-russell. Yorke singing over an acoustic guitar, which is later sprinkled with minimal keyboard sounds and a tape loop.However, I don't know if this is just a me thing, but on side eeny, the little center paper thingy is off center, causing the needle to scrape through it slightly. From the chaotic, distorted guitar in "Airbag" to the simple bell hit in "The Tourist", OK Computer drags you through an array of emotions, leaving your body in a state of euphoria. My homie had thought he just purchased a first press only to realize he got the wrong one but it was still a DMM copy. Years after its release, OK Computer can still recapture every emotion and feeling I have ever had toward the album -- a true sign of a brilliant piece of work. Both of those copies satisfied me over time, but I have been craving the original UK Parlophone pressing for a long time to get as close as possible to the original master.

First thing I noticed was the edge being thicker than normal and completely flat instead of beveled, playing it for the first time was an adventure because of how warped it was. It's a thoroughly astonishing demonstration of musical virtuosity and becomes even more impressive with repeated listens, which reveal subtleties like electronica rhythms, eerie keyboards, odd time signatures, and complex syncopations. Released in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, with scooped thin cutouts along the top edge of one side, each. While that's not necessarily true, I once found myself so mad after receiving the wrong copy that I was ready to verbally assault the seller.I bought it under that impression and based on the matching numbers that i believed were an indication of it being the coloured vinyl. Recently I purchased the 2013 because honestly there is such minor differences between that and an original that I said f**k this and am totally satisfied. those at capitol including phil costello, clark staub, gary gersh, daralyn adams, brian macdonald, rob gordon. It's beautiful, mysterious, scary, and thought-provoking; a record that will indefinitely be a future classic.
