Radiohead’s newspaper was available since yesterday, starting in New Zealand. A day later The Universal Sigh lands in North America
Albums in North America are released a day later than elsewhere in the world, and the same goes for Radiohead’s new album The King Of Limbs. At selected locations you can get the band’s newspaper The Universal Sigh. In Soho, New York City there’s a long line of people waiting to get their hands on a paper. However, the latest reports claim that there’s no line at Times Square.
The people of Vancouver have to wait another day unfortunately, The Universal Sigh release has been pushed til tomorrow at 1pm due to delivery issues. Don’t bother showing up today.
Yesterday, a separate piece of paper with a unique code was issued with every paper. People who picked up a newpaper in New York, Los Angeles, Monreal and Chicago say that they haven’t received a code.
There’s been some confusion about some of the locations. A location address for Washington DC was slightly off, but has been corrected on theuniversalsigh.com. Several people in DC ended up at the wrong location.
The “Harvard Square” location for Boston’s Universal Sigh is a bit vague. It’s actually the Newbury Comics in “The Garage”, reports @TheKBRT.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE:
Today in Vancouver, The Universal Sigh was handed out on time after yesterday’s delay. A small crowd of people had gathered but my suspicion is that there will be plenty of papers laying around HMV somewhere for the next day or two.
