Hey man slow down

"I am reacting to the negative reviews calling for remastering. Be careful what you wish for. 90ies technolgy already was highly advanced and Rhs CDs in general sound very good. You can play them loud and at lower volume and they sound good. I've gone through updating many of my 50-60 jazz CDs and in those cases it is amazing what could be done since they were first thrown on the market in the late 80ies. But what should a remastered Rh Cd sound like? Stronger bass, greater volume at high frequencies? I don't think you'd be looking for that. Thing is, Rh came along when the technology was advanced and they utilized it to their ability and artistic views. I am very pleased with what we have and find these expanded reissues a welcome, albeit costly addition. Yes, money is being made of us, but with these reissues something of value is being offered. And it is up each individual to make his or her mind to go for it. Don't dish this just because you have a hangup.



For anyone liking OK Computer and wondering if the extra CD is worth it: The music collected from contemporary EPs is very good, not quite as great as the original album, but very enjoyable."
Remasters are not always needed

"I have heard some bad remasters. I have already mentioned those in other reviews I have done here, so I won't re-hash that here. You guys gotta realize that remasters and or remixes of albums are not always essential. The older RH albums sound just fine. Last but not least some remasters done these days have the mix volume turned up way way too loud. When in mixers do this to older albums it kind of ruins them. All I can say is appreciate what has been released for you the fans!



Maybe RH don't want their albums messed with just yet. Who knows in the next 20 years maybe they will change their minds and have their catalog remixed. I believe in 20 years time the albums will be in need of a remix and or remaster as the tapes will start to show their age on CD's being made in 20 yrs.

Excellent album/ Unnecessary re-issue
C. Sherman | NYC | 04/02/2009

"Five star record, three stars for the re-issue...

"Ok Computer" is a modern classic, definitely one the best records of all-time. This COLLECTOR'S EDITION collects the b-sides and live tracks from the album's singles, as well as 3 songs recorded for the BBC.

You know what you're getting with Disc 1- it is a standard re-issue of the album. The second disc, while compiling all of the non-album tracks, and thus giving a complete picture of Radiohead's "OK" output, still falls short of making this purchase necessary. The live songs are nice, but really, don't add anything to this set, and the remixes, while interesting to hear "Climbing Up the Walls" in a different light, are not going to be listened to more than a handful of times. The best b-sides are already available on the "Airbag/ How's My Driving?" EP. Buy that and the original "OK Computer" pressing (which combined shouldn't cost more than this), and you have all you really need if you are not a completist (who would probably have all of the original singles anyway, thus having no need for this set).
