Radiohead: The Stories Behind Every Song James Doheny Carlton Books It’s my own fault here – I’m a sucker for such books. I’ll behind-the-album/inside-the-songs accounts whenever I can find them, wherever I see them. I have a shelf full of classic album-related books that I haven’t even got to yet. So I bit.

Radiohead, Supercollider/The Bucher 12″ (2011) This limited 12″ single was released for Record Store Day in April. In just a few countries (Europe, Japan).
