Radiohead Were Almost Dropped....


After poor sales of Radiohead debut single 'Creep' and they could have be dropped from their record,a new film reveals.

The film, entitled 'Anyone Can Play Guitar', follows Radiohead's early days and the music scene in Oxford, were they formed.

'Creep' was a great failure on its initial release just like (album) 'Pablo Honey.'


According to their early management, it got to the stage where EMI wanted to drop them,'' promoter Jon Spira told MOJO.

He added: ''[But] a small radio station in San Francisco picked the single up on import and played it until it became the listeners' song of the year. They got a second chance.''

The film, released in the summer, also features never-seen-before footage of Foals, Supergrass and Ride.
