Radiohead to release Japan-only rarities CD
Import alert! To coincide with their Japanese tour, Radiohead are releasing an album of remixes, rarities and b-sides
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 12 Feb 2004
It's time to get yourself a Japanese penpal! Yup, Radiohead are marking their upcoming visit to the Land of the Rising Yen with the March 29 release of The Com Lag EP, a 10-track rarities, remixes and B-sides collection which will only be available here as a horrendously expensive import.
"That's not very right on for a self-appointed band of the people," we hear you cry and you've an extremely good point. Putting ethical considerations to one side for a moment, the EP kicks off with a live '2 + 2 = 5' and then moves on to 'Myxomatosis (Christian Vogel Mix)', 'Paperbag Writer Scatterbrain (Four Tet Remix)', 'I Will (L.A. Version)', 'I Am Citizen Insane', 'Fog (Again)', 'Where Bluebirds Fly', 'I Am A Wicked Child' and 'Gagging Order'.
Add in the Ed Hollingsworth video for 'Sit Down, Stand Up' and footage that originally appeared on the www.radiohead.tv website and it's a well tasty package.
