Radiohead Back Catalog Finally on iTunes

Radiohead Catalog Finally on iTunes
Along with the Beatles, one of the biggest hold outs on iTunes has been the art-rock geniuses Radiohead. The dispute that has caused this delay has been over the bundling of Radiohead's albums. The band gave EMI permission to distribute its music digitally as long as the albums weren't broken up into individual songs. iTunes requires that albums be unbundled and for sale as individual tracks.

But with the band's last album 'In Rainbows,' Radiohead had a change of heart. Following the splash made by its payment optional debut, the album went on sale on iTunes earlier this year, unbundled. But as of yesterday morning, Radiohead has finally released its entire back-catalog of albums to iTunes just in time for the release of it's new greatest hits record.

All of the band's EMI released material, including videos, is now available DRM-free through iTunes, which means you can play it on any audio player (not just iPods). So, if you've been holding out on picking up 'Ok Computer' for some reason, you can rest assured that now is as good a time as any to pull the trigger. [Source: Wired]
