Radiohead fans, we have some great news for you. The iconic British rock band just confirmed plans to reissue their acclaimed albums Kid A and Amnesiac. The reissues will be packed into one release, titled Kid A Mnesia, that will contain original records, unreleased music, outtakes, alternate versions, and much more.
Radiohead is reissuing both albums in one go because the tracks from Kid A and Amnesiac were all recorded during the same sessions. The band initially intended to make a double album with Kid A due to the abundance of material, but later changed their mind and released it as a single LP in October 2000. They quickly returned to the leftover material and presented Amnesiac just eight months later.
You can check out the details of the reissue, which will be released November 5, in the band’s Instagram post.
As Rolling Stone points out, some of the most interesting inclusions on Kid A Mnesia will be the studio version of the song “Follow Me Around.” The track never got around to be released in full but the band performed it during live shows in the past.
Also included is “If You Say the Word;” a previously unheard song that was the point of speculation among Radiohead fans for years. The fansite Citizen Insane believes guitarist Ed O’Brien mentioned the track in his diary at one point, referring to it as the “C-Minor Song.”
While announcing Kid A Mnesia, the band shared “If You Say the Word” on YouTube. Hear it below.
