Radiohead's From The Basement special airs first on Spanish TV

Radiohead's The King of Limbs: Live From The Basement had its first showing anywhere on Saturday, on Canal+ in Spain. A fan on a Radiohead message board recorded the broadcast off air and uploaded it one song at a time, and within days the whole programme was on YouTube. Clash reports that the BBC, which holds the rights, has had clips taken down.

The programme runs 55 minutes, with no presenter or audience and some footage from behind the scenes. Alongside the whole of the album it has “The Daily Mail”, which Thom Yorke first played alone at a Green Party benefit at the Cambridge Corn Exchange last year, and “Staircase”, which the band put online from this session in June.

It is their second From The Basement, after the In Rainbows episode in 2008. Nigel Godrich produced it at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios in May. Clive Deamer, Portishead's drummer, plays alongside Phil Selway, and seven brass players join them for “The Daily Mail”. The band also played “Supercollider” at the session, but it is not in the programme.

BBC Worldwide is selling the programme abroad. By late June it had confirmed broadcasts on Palladia in the US, Fuji TV in Japan, Multishow in Brazil and SuperChannel in Canada as well as Canal+, with no British channel on the list. Palladia's American premiere is on Saturday 23 July at 9pm Eastern, and Clash expects the BBC to show it once a schedule is set.
