Radiohead – Hail To The Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009)

Radiohead announce "Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009", a new live album that has allowed the band to re-evaluate their relationship with their sixth studio album "Hail to the Thief". The album is now available to pre-order as a one-off pressing. It features recordings from performances in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and Dublin between 2003 and 2009, mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton. 

Thom Yorke said of the new live album, "When I was thinking about how to create arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail to the Thief theater production, I asked to hear some archived live recordings of the songs. I was shocked at the energy we played with back then. I barely recognized us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to mix and release those live recordings (it would have been crazy to keep them just for ourselves). The whole thing was a very cathartic process. We really hope you enjoy them." 

Recently, Thom Yorke co-created the critically acclaimed production 'Hamlet Hail to the Thief' - a fast-paced adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, accompanied by a deconstructed score of reworked songs from the 2003 album 'Hail to the Thief'. Rolling Stone UK wrote of the new production: "The greatest testament to Yorke and his co-writers is that these worlds merge so seamlessly - as if they were always meant to be together."
