New Radiohead Album ‘The King Of Limbs’ Announced - Due Saturday!

Radiohead have revealed their new album as ‘The King Of Limbs’, and it’s set for release this Saturday.

We’d already had hints that the band’s new record was complete, but now there’s confirmation we’ll have it in our grubby mits this weekend.

The announcement, made via the band’s official website, reveals the record will come in two formats - digital only and ‘newspaper’. The latter is claimed to be (perhaps) ‘the world’s first Newspaper Album’, details of which read:

* Two clear 10” vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
* A compact disc.
* Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
* The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
* The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
* One lucky owner of the digital version of The King Of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12” vinyl.

That will set you back £30 including MP3s, or £33 including full quality WAV files. The digital version comes in two formats - MP3 at £6 and WAV at £9.

The record can be pre-ordered now here.

The album will also be released as a 12″/CD on March 28th via XL (Europe), TBD (North America), and Hostess (Japan/Asia).
