Radiohead are celebrating their revered sister albums, 2000's Kid A and 2001's Amnesiac, with an expanded 20th anniversary reissue. KID A MNESIA is out on November 5 through XL.

This reissue compiles the two albums, which were written and recorded at the same time, along with a third LP's worth of unreleased material from the same sessions, titled Kid Amnesiae. There are 12 songs in all, including alternate versions of a few tracks. Some highlights include a studio version of the live favourite "Follow Me Around" and the previously unheard "If You Say the Word," the latter of which has now been released as a single.

KID A MNESIA will be available in various vinyl formats (including standard black, limited edition red, and deluxe cream), cassette and digital.

The day before KID A MNESIA drops, on November 4, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood will release two books: KID A MNESIA Art Book (a 300-page book on the process and artwork of Kid A and Amnesiac) and FEAR STALKS THE LAND! (a black-and-white paperback collecting notes, sketches and lyrics).

Radiohead have spent the past couple of months teasing KID A MNESIA with a cryptic TikTok campaign.
