Radiohead new album: a tactic to sell CDs?
Band's management confident fans will buy album after download
Radiohead’s management have suggested that the unique marketing of their new album ’In Rainbows’ was a ploy manufactured to sell more CDs.
Bryce Edge, part of Radiohead’s management team, said that there was an ulterior motive to the pricing.
He told Music Week: “If we didn’t believe that when people hear the music they will want to buy the CD then we wouldn’t do what we are doing.”
