From the album In Rainbows (2007)
“Videotape” by Radiohead appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2024. It was first released in 2007 on the album In Rainbows. Its best result is #846 on the WXPN The 885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century (2024).
"Videotape" belongs to In Rainbows, Radiohead's seventh album, which the band released themselves as a download on 10 October 2007 and let fans pay whatever they liked for, the first major act to try it. The songwriting is credited to the band as a whole, and Nigel Godrich produced and mixed it, engineering alongside Dan Grech-Marguerat, Hugo Nicolson and Richard Woodcraft.
Getting there took years. Work started in early 2005, sessions with Spike Stent went nowhere in 2006, and the band called their longtime producer Godrich back in, recording in two country houses, Halswell House and Tottenham House, at the Hospital Club in London and in their own Oxfordshire studio. Across the album, the words turned more personal and less political than on their earlier albums.
