Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The selected original 1992 studio single is documented by the artist and label. The retained annual and specialist entries identify no precise version, while the reviewed label catalog distinguishes other acoustic and BBC performances. Preserve their actual original-title candidate provisionally pending version confirmation, rather than asserting a new Beyond addition.

About Radiohead
Radiohead's group recordings bring together Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway. Their music has moved across rock boundaries through a wide range of influences and studio approaches. The fourth album, Kid A, released in 2000, is a prominent example of the band's turn toward electronic textures. Their work also helped make digital distribution part of the wider discussion around album releases, alongside continuing changes in the sound of the recordings themselves.
