Elijah Wood: 'I would have signed Radiohead'

Elijah Wood has revealed that he was once keen to sign Radiohead to his record label.

The Hobbit actor established Simian Records in 2005, and told NME that his strong love of the band made him consider the idea.



"It was a fantasy of mine that I could release one of their records... [during] a very brief period of time where Radiohead were looking to release In Rainbows but they didn't have a label," Wood explained.

"In my heart of hearts I knew that was absolutely impossible, but you know, you know I'm a huge Radiohead fan."

Radiohead eventually adopted a 'pay-what-you-want' model for the initial digital release of In Rainbows in October 2007, and also produced a number of limited edition vinyl and CD boxsets.

The record then received a conventional CD release across the world during the last week of 2007.
