Radiohead’s Old B-Sides Vanish From Streaming Services

Some vintage Radiohead B-sides have gone missing from streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, as Music Ally reports. The tracks were part of “Special Collectors Edition” versions of the band’s albums prior to 2007′s In Rainbows. Those deluxe editions have also disappeared from the services. Among the B-sides missing are The Bends-era tracks “Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong” and “The Trickster” as well as OK Computer-era cuts “How I Made My Millions” and “Palo Alto.”

“As a result of a change in rights ownership of Radiohead’s catalog, the band’s catalog on Spotify has been streamlined, meaning that a small number of products are no longer available,” a Spotify spokesperson told Pitchfork in a statement. “However, the band’s core album catalog remains available to their millions of fans on Spotify as before.” In an earlier statement to Music Ally, Spotify explained that the change was due to “the transfer of Radiohead’s catalog from Warner Music to Beggars Group.”

On Apple Music, the playlist “Radiohead: ’90s B-sides” was down to only two tracks.

Pitchfork has reached out to Beggars, Warner, and Apple for comment.
