Radiohead Rarities
So vast is the Radiohead catalogue outside the eight albums released between 1993 and 2011 that the average fan can go years without discovering another jewel from the trove. A few years ago I was flicking through a friend’s iTunes and found a recording of a concert in Los Angeles that includes the most mind-blowingly beautiful version of ‘I Will’. I’ve listened to this slightly softer live rendition probably more than most other Radiohead songs since the discovery, and certainly more than the album version.
Radiohead Rarities And B S-i-d-e-s
This has happened to me quite a few times and I’m sure it’s a common experience – unless you are a particularly organised superfan. There are so many old bootlegs, radio shows, sessions, duets and remixes out there that it’s difficult to know where to start – or find them. Here’s a list of 10 great alternative versions of Radiohead songs and also a few obscure rarities that you might not have heard. I haven’t included any b-sides or the ‘I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings’ album, more music you have to dig around a bit to land on. You probably already know that ‘Like Spinning Plates’ live is a totally different and amazing version, for example. Please leave your favourites in the comments.

Sound drivers for windows 7. ‘Harry Patch (In Memory Of)’ Written in tribute to Harry Patch, the last surviving soldier who fought in the trenches in World War 1, the song was recorded a few weeks after his death in July 2009.

It’s string-based and the lyrics include quotations from the veteran about the horrors of war. It starts sombrely but builds with the lyrics “Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves”, the final syllable landing on a chilling key change. The track was sold for £1 with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion.
