Radiohead Says Name Your Own Price for New Album

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 1, 2007 @05:21AM from the funny-that-the-artists-are-pushing-for-lower-prices dept.

TechDirt is reporting that the band Radiohead has apparently chosen the path less traveled when it comes to the release of their new album. They are offering two very unique methods of purchase for their new music, the ability to name your own price for a digital download or the ability to purchase a special "discbox" which will contain the album on CD and vinyl in addition to a horde of goodies. Will be interesting to see how this new model works out for them and what it might do to more traditional methods.

How about a direct link to the page where you can pre-order the album (in either form)? http://www.inrainbows.com/

Something is either unique or it isn't.
There's no "Somewhat unique", or "very unique".
