TLDR: This dump proves the Radiohead purposely scrapped a song (Lift) that was going to be a hit single because they wanted to change direction with OK computer.
As a huge radiohead fan, the interesting thing about this dump is that the version of Lift (disk 15 starting at 9:30, but can also be found in other places in the dump) is totally mastered and ready to go on the album.
Fans heard this live a long time ago, but when they released the first recorded version on Lift the b-sides of the Ok Computer 2017, it sounds much slower.
The band stated that they recorded and mastered Lift in 1997, but they knew it would be a huge hit single and they didnt want that for OK computer so they scrapped the whole thing. No one understood this until now.
Other highlights discovered in the dump:
- Karma Police with different lyrics
- Longer version of paranoid android
- Exit Music and True Love Waits used to be the SAME song
- tclancy 7y agoMy wife and I were fascinated by a version of Nude from 10 years before In Rainbows.
- misiti3780 7y agome too!
- farmerbb 7y agoIf you're referring to the first song on the first disc, it's a combination of Exit Music and Life in a Glasshouse.
