Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is the track I’m looking for missing?
A. There are several possible reasons for this, depending on the characteristics of the track in question:
1. Remixes are generally limited to those that appear as b-sides on singles.
2. Only tracks released in the following formats are considered: cd, cd-rom, dvd, cassette, vinyl, web. Tracks exclusive to VHS are not included.
3. Only tracks released under the name Radiohead are included. Therefore, this database doesn’t include tracks from the On A Friday cassettes.
4. In the event of apparent track omissions when compared with the tracklisting as seen in the image of the associated release, the explanation is likely either that the omitted tracks are album versions or are the work of other artists. Special cases of the former are certain “performances” from Top Of The Pops, as released on the box set album reissues.
5. Only non-album versions are listed. The expectation is that most users of this site already own every Radiohead album and therefore would derive little benefit from the inclusion of album versions.
Q. None of the above explanations apply to the track/version I have in mind. What can I do?
A. If you know of a non-album version that you believe should be included on the site, please submit the relevant information via email to the address provided near the bottom of the main page. If I agree that the track belongs on the site and you don’t already own a copy of the release from which it is sourced, as a gesture of appreciation I’ll mail you a copy, provided I can find one.
Q. Why is only a single format listed for releases released in multiple formats?
A. This site isn’t intended to be a discography. Instead, its focus is to document every officially released version of every Radiohead track and, for each version, an associated source. As those who remember the incredible resource that was rhdiscog.com will understand, not only will a particular version of a track appear on each format of a release, but it will often also appear on multiple releases. For example, the ‘Drill EP’ version of Prove Yourself appears on the cassette, CD, and vinyl formats of the Drill EP, as well as on an EMI Acetate cassette and the Pablo Honey box set reissue. Linking a particular track version to every release it’s associated with is simply beyond the scope of this site.
