LIMITED EDITION OF 2500 US COPIES TO RETAIL. Case bound album, inspired by the albums for 78rpm shellac records in the library of La Fabrique, France. The 11 track album on two heavyweight 12" vinyl records with 32 pages of artwork. Two compact discs: one with the album and one with two extra tracks. Recording tape belly band applied: This is a piece of a Radiohead 1/2 inch master tape from an actual recording session. The tape degrades over time and becomes unplayable. The band thought rather than it ending up as landfill they would cut it up and make it useful as a part of the special edition. A new life for some obsolete technology. Each loop contains about of a second of audio - which could be from any era in the band's recording past going back to Kid A. You may have silence, you may have coloured leader tape, you may have a chorus.
