Radiohead left their original label in 2007 prior to the official release of their album, “In Rainbows.” Like may other Britrockers, Radiohead had conflicted views and did not like the changes at the label.

After Radiohead left the label, it still re-released the new album “In Rainbows” and a “Best of”collection. March 24 EMI plans to re-release Radiohead’s first three albums, “Pablo Honey,” “The Bends,” and “OK Computers,” as double disc sets. I can’t help but wonder if the band put its stamp of approval on the project.

Each CD will have the original album and a second disc containing corresponding B-sides. “Pablo Honey” and “The Bends” will have special collector’s editions that have a DVD with the releases completing one whole live concert.

 EMI is also re-issuing the bands 12 singles on 12″ vinyl in April.
