I'll eventually get these as I just ordered the 1st 3 from BMG. So far no 2CD/1 DVD combos-just 2 CDs, although I'm sure that will change.
Does anyone know if any of these were remastered? Some say yes, others no. I have "The Best Of" from BMG and it says the tracks were mastered (of course they were), no mention of remastering.

None of the recent Radiohead reissues have been remastered, so it's unlikely that these newer CDs will be either.

That's a good thing.

Dumb question: has it been observed anywhere else that the version of "I Will" that purports to be the "LA Version" on the expanded HTTT is, in fact, nothing of the sort? Rather, it appears to be the original, "unmastered" version, making its first official appearance on disc.

Isn't this just the b-side version from the "2+2=5" single? What is the running time on the reissue?

Quote:
"I Will"

"I Will (Los Angeles Version)" is an alternate version of the album track "I Will" and was released on the second "2+2=5" CD single. Whereas the album version features just Thom Yorke on the guitar and vocals, the Los Angeles version is a full band track, recorded during the two week session at Ocean Way studios in Los Angeles, where most of the tracks that made up Hail to the Thief were recorded. The album version was recorded at a later date in Radiohead's studio in Oxfordshire. The album version runs to 1:59, while this version runs to 2:15.

But it isn't! I have the B-side version and this isn't it, I don't think. See below...B-side version first.

Wikipedia agrees with you... I'm trying to find additional verification now.

Saw a similar comment on last.fm, too... don't have the CDs handy to personally compare, but at least I'm covered since I haven't gotten rid of any of the "2+2=5" singles.

It's not actually its first appearance on disc. It was mistakenly released on the Canadian 2+2=5 CD single.

Interesting. I missed that, apparently; I haven't been paying attention to Radiohead reissue news as much as I used to.

So, in other words, it looks as if the compilers of the HTTT deluxe ripped the 2+2=5 disc for the "LA" version of "I Will," but accidentally used the one with the erroneous version?

(BTW, can you point to a source for the Canadian 2+2=5 discussion?)

Sadly, they're no longer accepting registrations. Interesting regardless.
