Radiohead Unreleased Early Demo Tracks

Mother lode. I had a few of these a long time ago, and was waiting for the right time to post it (After all, Radiohead on this site is LONG overdue). But today in my trolling, I found the remainder of the set, and 2 other amazingly rare finds.

These, dear readers, are the first recording sessions of Radiohead, looong before they were anything even CLOSE to being popular. I must admit, some of the tracks are terrible (just like the early NIN demos I posted last year! ha ha ha)

But many are still amazing. If you are like me, and remember fondly the good old days when Radiohead played "songs," then this is a no-brainer... Radiohead fan? Collector? Rarities Hunter? Like to brag about stuff at parties? This posting should have you all covered.
