Ahead of the ‘special event’ due to be held in selected record stores tomorrow to mark the physical release of A Moon Shaped Pool, it’s worth reminding ourselves of previous Radiohead promotional events.
For example, this was a fifty minute video they put out on New Year’s Eve 2007, to promote the physical release of In Rainbows the very next day. The band had previously issued the album digitally on a ‘pay what you want’ basis on 10 October 2007.
It’s a nice video, with every song on the album, played in a variety of locations – including a very cool performance of Faust Arp by Thom and Jonny on a hill (at around the 16 minute mark).
