Web-only album 'mad', says Yorke
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has said releasing latest album In Rainbows solely on the internet would have been "stark raving mad".
Yorke told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that 80% of people still buy physical releases and it was important for the band to have "an object".
The album - released via the band's website for whatever price fans wanted to pay - was released in October.
A physical version - on CD and vinyl - hit record stores on Monday.
