Radiohead set 31 December for In Rainbows on CD and vinyl

Radiohead's In Rainbows comes out on CD and vinyl on 31 December, it was announced on Wednesday 7 November. Outside the US it is released by XL Recordings, the label the band recently signed with. “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” follows as a single on 14 January 2008, in formats still to be announced.

Since 10 October the album has been a download from the band's website and nowhere else, at a price each buyer chooses. A spokesperson says the details of the American release are not yet settled. Billboard names ATO and Side One Recordings as the front-runners to sign the band there.

The same day the representatives answered comScore, the measurement firm that reported on 6 November that 62 per cent of downloaders paid nothing. It put the average price paid at $6. the figures quoted by the company comScore Inc are wholly inaccurate and in no way reflect definitive market intelligence or, indeed, the true success of the project¹, their statement says. They will not give a figure of their own. as the album could only be downloaded from the band's website, it is impossible for outside organisations to have accurate figures on sales¹.
