Radiohead Pay-What-You-Want Album, A ‘One Off’

Radiohead Pay-What-You-Want Album, A 'One Off'Thom Yorke has said that the ‘In rainbows’ album that surprised the world — and frankly gave them a near incalculable amount of free publicity — was a ‘one off.’

Yorke went on “We are about that direct relationship (now) because we are big enough to establish that.”
