Radiohead have announced a special triple album called Kid A Mnesia to mark the 20th & 21st anniversaries of Kid A and Amnesiac.

The special reissue of the band's groundbreaking albums will drop on November 5th. It will feature both records and a new album called Kid Amnesiae comprised of unheard material from the Kid A and Amnesiac sessions.

The iconic English band teased the project with a cryptic video as ‘Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box’ from Amnesiac played over it. The clip features a pair of hands trying to tape the two CD’s together as the visual glitches.

The triple album will feature alternate versions of songs and B-sides from both records. Kid Amnesiae will also include a brand new song called ‘If You Say The Word’ and an unreleased recording of ‘Follow Me Around’.

The band shared ‘If You Say The Word’, which was previously known as ‘The C-minor song', yesterday (September 7). Guitarist Ed O’Brien had written about the song in his online production journals during the Kid A era.

‘Follow Me Around’ has only been performed live and was written before the Kid A sessions. The 1998 documentary Meeting People Is Easy captured the band performing the song during a soundcheck.

The anniversary album also includes B-side ‘Fog’, a third take on ‘Morning Bell’ which featured on both albums in different versions, three mysterious untitled tracks, an alternate version of B-side ‘Fast Track’ and more.

The special issue will be available on the band's website for the reissue in a variety of formats including:

The ‘Scarry’ Book, a limited edition 3xLP cream vinyl with a 36-page hardback art book; Kid Amnesiette, a cassette with a limited number of 5000 available along with a 36-page booklet; a 3xLP black vinyl and an exclusive limited edition 3xLP red vinyl available exclusively in indie record stores. The triple album will also be available in CD format and for digital download.

A hardback art catalogue containing “insomniac biro scrawls” and “six-foot painted canvases” created during the albums' conception is available as well as a paperback book called Fear Stalks The Land including "faxes, notes, fledgling lyrics, sketches, lists of all kinds and scribblings towards nirvana" from the period. Both are set to arrive on November 4th and were written by frontman Thom Yorke and the band’s visual artist Stanley Donwood.

Radiohead announced the anniversary album on Twitter saying - "We humbly submit KID A MNESIA to you.
It's a coming of age for Kid A & Amnesiac and it's joined by a new album, Kid Amnesiae, a memory palace of half-remembered, half-forgotten sessions & unreleased material."
