I assume it's EMI that's doing this, not Radiohead. Months ago they released a boxed set of all their albums (no bonus material!) without the band's permission, and last week (I think) they released two versions of a best-of comp, also without their permission. Their label owns the rights to their music and can do what they please. Radiohead even commented on the two aforementioned releases, noting that they had nothing to do with it.
Do yo' research!
