Originally Radiohead intended ‘Kid A’ as a double album but it was later decided to split the albums into two distinct releases. The two album were recorded together between January 1999 and April 2000. ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac’ followed the Radiohead masterpiece ‘OK Computer’. ‘Amnesiac’ came nine months later on 30 May, 2001. ‘Kid A’, the fourth Radiohead album, was released 2 October 2000. “We humbly submit KID A MNESIA It’s a coming of age for Kid A & Amnesiac and it’s joined by a new album, Kid Amnesiae, a memory palace of half-remembered, half-forgotten sessions & unreleased material All three come out together on November 5th,” Radiohead said in a statement.
The new 3 disc package features the ‘Kid A’ album was as disc 1, ‘Amnesic’ as disc 2 and the bonus tracks on disc 3.
