Hmm, some confusion as to whether iTunes are or are not selling Radiohead. Well, one small slice of Radiohead anyway.
As previously reported, Radiohead's music is not available on iTunes because they are one of a handful of bands who still object to Apple's rule that artists must sell their albums track by track - ie you can't insist fans only buy full albums. As a result the only Radiohead tracks that appear on the Apple download service are five that appear on compilation albums, including the tracks they recorded for Warchild's 'Help' albums.
Or at least that was so until yesterday when, according to Music Week, a 1994 EP from the band suddenly appeared on iTunes, albeit as a downloadable bundle - ie you have to buy all four tracks that appear on it, perhaps suggesting Apple has decided to compromise on its 'no compulsory bundling' rule to get Thom Yorke et al onto the system. Although credited to Radio Head (not Radiohead) Music Week say they have downloaded the 'My Iron Lung EP' off iTunes and it is the genuine article. It is available in the iTunes Plus DRM free format - it being in EMI's catalogue, and they allowing such things.
However, when Music Week approached EMI's Murray Chalmers he said that no agreement had been reached between Apple and the band regarding the inclusion of their music on the download platform and that he would be alerting the band's management to the inclusion of the 'My Iron Lung EP' on the Apple store. However, as of half five this morning, when I checked, the EP was still available for iTunes download.
