then there was Glastonbury … dreams coming true. we were on one side of it and couldn’t really comprehend the public side of it. even now listening today to some of the talk on the radio, I’m truly overwhelmed and still surprised. although we knew we were on to something we had no idea what it would become. that’s where we first met the light that was Taylor Hawkins. thank you for choosing us to open for her, that allowed us to play all these songs that would become OKC. so many hours put into rehearsing these songs …then toured and played them in. one was the magical St Catherine’s Court owned by Jane Seymour. one space was nicknamed canned applause… it was literally inside a vast metal box for storing apples. we sought inspiring places to record rather than conventional recording studios. we built our own mobile studio and co produced the album with. we were absorbing so much more music outside of our alternative guitar thing. people seemed to get what we were doing and the gigs were getting more powerful. no partying just the desire to make better and better work. OK a few thoughts in no particular order. today is apparently the 25th anniversary of OK Computer’s release. Here’s the full text of O’Brien’s message:
O’Brien’s pair of posts touched on a lot including the artists who influenced the album, the contributions of producer Nigel Godrich and actress Jane Seymour (who famously let the band record part of the album in her mansion), the chance to road-test the OK Computer songs on tour with Alanis Morissette (and meet a young Taylor Hawkins in the process), and more. On Instagram, he shared a lengthy note inspired by BB6 Music’s celebration of the anniversary.

The reissue includes the original 12-track album, plus eight b-sides of the OK Computer era, and three previously unreleased songs: “I Promise,” “Lift” and “Man of War.” All of the songs have been remastered from the original analogue tapes, and the album will be available in digital, 2xCD and 3xLP formats. It’s out June 23 via XL Recordings, with a deluxe boxed set version shipping in July, featuring a hardcover book with original artwork, lyrics, Thom Yorke’s notes and a cassette “mixtape” featuring material from session archives and demos. Radiohead has announced a deluxe 20th anniversary reissue of their 1997 album OK Computer, titled OKNOTOK.
