XL Recordings released three separate 12" vinyl records remixes of tracks from The Eraser in early 2008. These remixes, are pretty sweet. It's funny too because I have had them for so long but I have not had time to listen to them, as whack as that sounds but with 6838 songs I'd imagine it would be difficult to listen to everything in your i tunes, and if you continue to get more and more music. So here I am tossing you something good, so maybe do me the favor by checking out Thom Yorke's work with Radiohead which I presume that most of you know? If not even the original "The Eraser" record is great. 
Last and not least which none of you fucking care about, on the original album over, a linocut by Stanley Donwood, depicts a figure in a black hat and trench coat standing in imitation of King Canute, trying and failing to command the ocean. Around him are iconic London buildings that have been swept away by the Thames, including the Tower of London, the House of Parliament and the Thames Barrier. Donwood included this picture and other images seen in The Eraser booklet in his art exhibition London Views, prior to the album's release. The images were inspired by a large flood Donwood and Yorke both witnessed in Cornwall in 2004. The CD packaging of The Eraser is unusual for a high profile release in that it is made of carboard but unlike a digipak, it does not contain any plastic. However, Yorke said in an interview that he did not have his CDs certified as carbon neutral, agreeing with British environmentalist George Monbiot's assertion that the practice is pointless.
