What with the news of EMI compiling a Radiohead best-of (read), DiS decided to try and call the major’s bluff by assembling our own 15-track career-summary CDs.
The band won’t be doing any promotional work for their former label; likewise, DiS isn’t actually going to burn these mixes onto CDs and send them out to you. But you can, of course, shout our selections down. G’wan then – comment accordingly, but remember this is EMI material only, no XL goodness. We know you’re as geeky as these two super-fans…
