Radiohead's first three albums to go collector's edition

As great as some of Radiohead's latter day albums have been, it's still tough to topple the trifecta of its first three: Pablo Honey (1993), The Bends (1995) and OK Computer (1997). Those three albums alone cemented the band's place in rock history, spawning the band's biggest singles "Karma Police" and "Creep."

In a move that will no doubt please completists to no end, Capitol/EMI records has announced it will release collector's editions and limited special editions of the band's first three albums on March 24. The swagged-out special collector's edition comes packaged in a lift-top box that includes a DVD and a series of collectible postcards. No word on prices for either edition, but there's nothing like spending your hard-earned cash on collectibles in a recession, right?

The full features for each edition are listed below:

Pablo Honey
Collector's Edition: album on disc one; demos, rarities, live recordings and a '92 BBC Radio One session on disc two.
