[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1091103, member: 23412"] I am a big fan of Radiohead but they can be infuriatingly pretentious at times. I recently got the OK Computer 20th anniversary vinyl. It has the tracks listed in order on the back of the sleeve, but then at the bottom it groups the tracks by assigning each one to a word in a nursery rhyme (i.e. "ip: 1 - 3 skip: 4 - 6," etc.) Then the labels of the records themselves don't have numbers or letters, just the corresponding word from the rhyme. So in order to play the album in the correct order you have to figure out where in the rhyme you are and what the next word is. And it doesn't help that I had never heard the rhyme before, having not grown up in an English-speaking environment. Apparently the original album did the same thing but with "eenie meenie," which I'd at least heard before. But I guess some things never change. [/QUOTE]
