Radiohead have revealed plans to put out a free 12 page newspaper, similar to the one they'll be selling with the deluxe "Newspaper Album" edition of new album 'King of Limbs'.
Titled 'The Universal Sigh', the paper will be distributed at strategic locations in cities around the world this Monday March 28th to coincide with the physical release of 'King of Limbs' on CD and vinyl, which hit shelves here in Ireland today (Friday 25th).
The official website, www.theuniversalsigh.com, is relatively vague on details about the paper's content, but makes it clear that it will be a different newspaper to the one released with 'The King of Limbs' at the beginning of June. It does reveal that, "In conjunction with this unbelievable offer, Radiohead have established The Universal Sigh as a website on the internet, where details of your nearest vendor can be found, as well as more informations and a photogallery where we will be posting photos and the lucky owners of the gratis tabloid are invited to post pictures of themselves and their friends reading the newspaper in locations diverse and unusual. There will be other stuff too, but we havent thought of it yet."
Meanwhile a copy of The Universal Sigh is currently for sale on eBay, and reportedly contains a coupon with a unique code", suggesting access to download some exclusive Radiohead material, though that has yet to be confirmed.
The Universal Sigh will be distributed in Dublin outside Tower Records on Wicklow St. at 12noon on Monday.
