Radiohead's back catalogue is on sale as downloads at WarChildMusic.com, War Child's download shop, which 7digital runs for the charity. SoulShine reports that it is the only place to buy Radiohead in digital form. Drowned in Sound says the whole catalogue has never been online before; until now only Amnesiac was.
The shop has every studio album from Pablo Honey to Hail to the Thief, the live I Might Be Wrong, and the singles with their B-sides from the My Iron Lung EP to “Go to Sleep”. The Pablo Honey singles are missing, and so is “2 + 2 = 5”. Jonny Greenwood's remix of a live “Go to Sleep” is there too.
Tracks cost 99p and albums £7.99. War Child, which raises money for children in war-torn countries, gets 20p from every track and up to £1.50 from every album.
The charity's first album, Help, is on sale there as well. Radiohead gave it “Lucky” in 1995, the first time the song appeared on record.
