Pre-order Radiohead's new album 'The King Of Limbs', to be released on XL in March

It's out as a digital download on the 19th of February, on XL vinyl on in March and there's a rather elaborate "Newspaper album" you can get your hands on as well, which will ship in May.

The follow up to ‘In Rainbows’ will be available by the end of the week.

Pre-order it here.

The pre-order site tells us:

“Radiohead’s new record, The King Of Limbs, is presented here as the world’s first* Newspaper Album, comprising:

  • Two clear 10” vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
  • A compact disc.
  • Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
  • The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
  • The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
  • Shipping is included in the prices shown.
  • One lucky owner of the digital version of The King Of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12” vinyl.”

UPDATE: The band just announced [at 12:05, Monday the 14th February] via their twitter that “Radiohead’s The King Of Limbs in stores on 12”/CD via XL (Europe), TBD (N-America) & Hostess (Japan/Asia): March 28”. So, in summary – digital on Friday, fancy pants version in a couple of months, XL CD/vinyl release in March.

Radiohead will release their album ‘King Of Limbs’ on February 19th
