Radiohead hits row

EMI set to issue best of around band's tour

10 Feb 2008 - Radiohead and EMI are having another falling out, following the row over the band's departure from the label.

It's now emerged that EMI will release a Radiohead greatest hits album to tie in with the band's tour which is expected to begin in the US in May.

However, the band are clearly not impressed with the plans to cash in on their tour, according to fan site Atease.

“They’re planning to do a greatest hits for April, May to coincide with our tour," the site quotes Ed O'Brien. "That’s an interesting one. We won’t be doing any promotion for that, obviously.”

Drummer Phil Selway admitted the label have the right to release a greatest hits.

Following the release of the In Rainbows discbox, EMI responded by issuing a box set of six studio albums and one live album. It also included download and USB versions.
