Radiohead - The Best Of (DVD)

Parlophone Records can today confirm that the much anticipated release, ‘Radiohead: The Best Of’ will also be available as a DVD video collection.

The story of Radiohead is not solely about their extraordinary music. They have also made some of the greatest music videos of all time.

Working with music video’s most innovative directors – the likes of Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, Jamie Thraves, Shynola, Jake Scott, Sophie Muller, Grant Gee, and others – the band’s commitment to visual creativity has resulted in some of the most memorable, groundbreaking and influential music videos in the history of the medium.

So the collection of videos on the Radiohead Best of DVD represents more than their body of work while at Parlophone Records – it’s a document of their huge contribution to music video as an artform.

These include the videos for Just, Street Spirit, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, No Surprises, Knives Out, Pyramid Song and There There. The DVD also includes the more experimental visual work, for Radiohead songs not released as singles. In all, there are 20 videos – nine of which are appearing for the first time anywhere on DVD.

It features Radiohead’s earliest videos, when they were still finding their feet, like in the video for Creep, which helped turn their first single into a massive hit in the US, Anyone Can Play Guitar and Pop Is Dead.

There are the two different videos made for High And Dry, the band’s first single from The Bends, and the glossy production for Fake Plastic Trees, directed by Jake Scott (son of Ridley) when the band were arguably still bigger in the States than in the UK, which suggests great things soon to come.
