Radiohead wanted to celebrate 20 years of the launch of "OK Computer" with the publication of a new album called " OK NOT OK 1997-2017" and went on sale last June 23. 1997 they published one of the best discs that has had the history of the rock, managing to revolutionize and to leave to one side the influence of britpop in the musical world. It was an album that changed its present and that still has validity.
The album was released in a Deluxe edition consisting of 3 vinyl records or two CDs, with the sound remastered and published through XL Recordings. It includes twelve songs from " OK Computer" plus eight B sides and original recordings from three previously unreleased singles " I Promise", "Lift" and "Man Of War". Just the last song, was chosen for the band to take out the new video that was directed Colin Read and features a man who seems to be constantly pursued.
Earlier this month, the British band released a new video of the old but unpublished song "I Promise" from the recording sessions of the anniversary album. The video was dedicated to Rachel Owen, former wife of Thom Yorke and mother of her two children who recently died of cancer.
The group said that the 1997 album was recorded with the best analog techniques that existed at the time, but that the later advances have allowed to tune the sound.
