A normal, sellable cd should arrive in record shops in early 2008.
It's an interesting move from Radiohead. We all know they are not pioneers, and countless minor artists have offered their music for free, or with a "pay what you want" scheme. But few bands of the scale of Radiohead have attempted this (maybe the Smashing Pumpkins who offered Machina II as a free download).
Let's see how fans respond to their challenge. How much will they pay for a digital download?
