Radiohead Bash 'Best Of' Album

Radiohead have dismissed the release of a 'Best Of' album, which their former label EMI is releasing on June 2nd.

Frontman Thom Yorke says of the release to The Word, "We haven't really had any hits so what exactly is the purpose?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. The work is really public property now anyway, in my head at least. It's a wasted opportunity in that if we'd behind it, and we wanted to do it, then it might have been good."

Talking about Radiohead leaving EMI, Yorke continued: "Personally I just wanted to forget about it. It didn't feel right. And now it's like when you move house: you don't want to peer through the window and see what they've done with the wallpaper because it will only upset you."

Over claims the band demanded "£10 million" to re-sign with EMI, Yorke added: "The idea what we were after so much money as to stretching the truth to breaking point," he declared. "That was his PR company briefing against us..I was so angry...it was a clear indication that the relationship was over."
