This Creep CD single is essential for two reasons: the Blow Out remix, which is a great alternate take of the album version, and Yes I Am, which is probably the best of the PH b-sides.

Blow Out, on album, is a very good mix, but there's not the sense of buildup that's highlighted in this version. Note that it's not a remix as the term is used now; it's an honest-to-goodness different version, remixed from the original recording tapes.

Yes I Am isn't mindblowing, as some of the Bends-era b-sides were. It's a competent song, with decent development, and some interesting lyrics, but it's about as good as they left off the album. I prefer Million $ Question, but Yes I Am is good.

The live version of Inside My Head improves on the original, with the vocals delivered far more passionately. It's a catchy little song, and fun to sing along with, but it just feels lacking in some way.

The ostensible lead track of the single can be safely disregarded. It's not a radio edit, for what it's worth, but I hope nobody would buy this single for Creep.

This is an item any true Radiohead fan must have, if not for anything else, get it for Yes I Am, It's a great song...

Depending on what you're looking for, there's 2 versions. The British version has: Creep, Lurgee, Inside My Head, and Million Dollar Question. Inside My Head is a fairly decent song, but Million Dollar Question has a great riff. The US version has Creep, Yes I Am, Inside My Head (live), and Blow Out (remix). Yes I Am is a slower tempo song, but not bad. The live version of Inside My Head isn't much different from the original (but was recorded at Chicago's Metro, which also spawned the live tracks on the Itch Ep). I didn't really notice much different in the Blow Out remix. Both are pretty even in terms of songs, but the UK has become harder to get as time's gone on.

trulu if your buying this one your probably collecting...well its vital--even the live inside my head is nice and the blow otu remix makes it nice to know--"thank goodness they didn't put that mix on the cd!!" but its worth the repeat spin then and again...and finally the art--pre s. donwood and almost as good--the relationship shows just how close the visual obscurity to the aural...enjoy!

I've listened to RADIOHEAD one year ago and I liked it right then.I'm an alternative music fan, that's why I like them the most.I like when I hear somebody talking about them.
