Radiohead today release OKNOTOK, their deluxe 20th anniversary edition of seminal LP 1997 OK Computer.

Included in the package are a bunch of unheard and unreleased songs, and alternate versions of beloved classics from the original sessions. We've already heard "I Promise" and "Man Of War", but "Lift" can be heard below.

"Lift" was famously omitted from OK Computer's final tracklist despite getting a super positive reaction when played live - Radiohead recently admitted that it was left on the cutting room floor because they thought it'd make them too popular.

You can hear the whole expanded OK Computer reissue below.

As well as digital, 2xCD, and 3xLP versions of the 23-track record, there will be a deluxe Boxed Edition, featuring a plethora of goodies for super fans, including over 30 artworks, full lyrics, a notebook featuring "104 pages from Thom Yorke's library of scrawled notes at the time", a C90 cassette mix compiled by the band "taken from OK Computer session archives and demo tapes", and more.

OKNOTOK is out now digitally via XL Recordings. The deluxe Boxed Edition shipping in July - find out more and pre-order now from www.oknotok.co.uk.
