Hail to the Thief

~ Release by Radiohead (see all versions of this release, 29 available)

Annotation

Unauthorized mp3s were made from promo copies of Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief", leading to the official release being edited and re-mastered as an incentive for illegal file sharers to buy the album. MP3s for this unmastered version are still widely available via P2P and torrent portals. The most notable differences between this and the official release are:
a) 'The Gloaming' is about a minute longer on the leaked release.
b) 'I Will' features an acoustic guitar introduction on the leaked version.
