Post Grammy awards, Radiohead announced the digital release of its newest album, Kings of Limbs. Unlike their previous album, "In Rainbows"--which fans could purchase for as much (or as little) as they liked--a digital copy of "Kings of Limbs" will cost either $9 for an MP3 format and $14 for the WAV format. And, for those who want more, Radiohead is also offering what they call a "newspaper album," which as the New York Times reports, includes lots of other goodies:

Radiohead is also offering what it calls a "newspaper album" release of "The King of Limbs" (a metaphor that was lost on at least one newspaper employee) which includes two 10-inch vinyl records and a compact disc, as well as "many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-color piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together." This release is sold for $48 (for MP3 digital files) or $53 (for WAV), and will be shipped on May 9, the band said.

The physical album won't be available until May, but fans can download a digital copy and order the "newspaper album" package on the album site.
