Radiohead change mind on artwork
Published on: 24-Oct-2007
Radiohead's revolutionary new album 'In Rainbows' was due to have an artwork style cover - until they decided to make the release download only.Artist Stanley Donwood had designed a canvas art style cover for the album only for it to be shelved at the 11th hour.
Donwood told Radio 4: "There was one [album cover] but because it was an mp3 we decided not to use it."
He added: "It was a last minute decision, it was all ready to go but ended up being left on the laptop.
"What did you miss out on? Well it's very colourful - I've finally embraced colour! It's a rainbow but it is very toxic, it's more like the sort of one you'd see in a puddle."
Meanwhile, a number of artworks by graffiti guru Banksy will go under the hammer at Bonhams auction house.
The ten pieces are expected to fetch in excess of £300,000.
