A MOON SHAPED POOL
Special Edition
SPECIAL EDITION
£60.00
Price includes shipping (oh thanks)

-----------

Case bound album, inspired by the albums for 78rpm shellac records in the library of La Fabrique, France
32 pages of artwork
The 11 track album on two heavyweight 12" vinyl records
Two compact discs: one with the album and one with two extra tracks
Recording tape belly band applied *
320kbit MP3 or 16-bit WAV of the 11 track album available to download immediately
* This is a piece of a Radiohead ½ inch master tape from an actual recording session.
The tape degrades over time and becomes unplayable. We thought rather than it ending up as landfill we 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 ¾ 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... It's a crapshoot.

We have copies. Don't worry.

Digital file sizes:
320kbit MP3 120MB
16-bit WAV 515MB

---

So obviously the thing to do is everyone who orders it collaborate and assemble what's there to piss EMI off

Instabuy. Although unless those songs are 20 minutes long, having a bonus disc with only two tracks seems a bit of a downer, especially compared to the In Rainbows bonus disc.

It sounds like The Bends/OK Computer era Radiohead. Not bad but nothing special after my first listen through. Should be nice for some chill summer evenings on the patio.

I ordered it from the US on their site and it cleared my payment, so I assume it's not going to quibble at the currency exchange.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Lame that the 24-bit WAVs only come with the digital-only option. Seems really arbitrary. Not that I can necessarily tell the difference, but it bugs me enough to possibly deter me from the vinyl option...

I'm just going to stream for now, maybe buy the LP in June at a record store in town. Can't justify a $19 digital album that I can't even put on my phone. I can't remember, does converting to iTunes AAC format incur loss?

I believe you will need to whack any WAVs you purchase through iTunes, my man, but AAC format is fine.

It comes down to $$$ vs desire as ever

Is it $19 in the States then?

So if I understand correctly, if enough of us order the special edition, and then really go to work with the sellotape, we should be able to recreate the 2006 version of Videotape?

No it's not, AAC is lossy. Maybe you're thinking of Apple Lossless (ALAC)? With a good enough bitrate you probably won't be able to tell the difference though.

There's no reason to buy the 24bit wav. your ears will not be able to tell the difference between that and 16bit. Your ears will also likely not be able to tell the difference between that and 320kbps.

You can convert wav to ALAC and put it in your iTunes.

Just buy it on iTunes like us plebs.

£60 is mad but I might order the vinyl to put on my wall. That art is gorgeous.

You're right.
If you can convert to ALAC through iTunes it may still be of interest.

Most people can't tell the dif' between formats when it's down to listening to the drat thing

If you zoom in on the picture of the Special Edition the bonus disc has track names printed on it.

"Spectre" and "B Word" or "B Ward".
