Radiohead - In Rainbows Pre-Order
September 30, 2007 8:53 PM
Where on earth did this come from?! I have great news. Radiohead just finished their latest album, “In Rainbows”, and it’s going to be released on October 10th. Even better news: You can pre-order it as a digital download or discbox.
And the best news? If you choose to get the digital download, you can pay whatever you like. That’s right, you choose what you think their new album is worth and then place your order. I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it is that they’re doing this, so just go right now (official site and only place to get the album) and support this awesome band.
“Radiohead is free to sell its album directly from its official website because it is no longer tied to a record label. So far the album is only available to pre-order from the website, where it can be downloaded on release on October 10.
Radiohead has the financial welly and is sufficiently well-known to be confident enough that the move is a risk worth taking, but it might also become an answer for those lesser known bands that struggle to be signed by a record label, or are reluctant to share their profits.”
