Radiohead Appalled By Box Set Release

An anonymous source told website boing boing that EMI are releasing the boxset
in retaliation to Radiohead choosing not to re-sign with the label and that the
band were "appalled:".
The source writes: "EMI threatened (Radiohead) with re-releasing their entire
catalog on the same day the discbox of In Rainbows was being sent out, December
10, unless the band gave EMI the standard physical release of the album."
EMI's rival boxset not only comes out on the same day as In Rainbows but
matches the price, coming in at just under £40.
It will not be known how well the In Rainbows boxset will do as the band are
keeping tight lipped on sales.
