MiniDiscs (Hacked)

Common card · No. 234614

MiniDiscs [Hacked] is a compilation album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in 2019. It comprises more than 16 hours of demos, rehearsals, live performances and other material recorded while Radiohead were working on their 1997 album OK Computer. The recordings were taken from MiniDiscs belonging to the singer, Thom Yorke, and were not intended for release. According to some reports, a bootleg collector demanded a ransom from Radiohead. However, the collector denied this, saying he instead planned to sell the recordings to fans. This was corroborated by fans who negotiated with him. After the recordings were leaked online, Radiohead released them through the music sharing site Bandcamp for 18 days, with all proceeds going to the environmentalist group Extinction Rebellion. The compilation received positive reviews. Though critics said that its size made it daunting for some listeners, they praised the insight into the making of OK Computer.
