The first time it happened it was on my friends stereo which has a vintage CD player on it. While listening to the song Let Down I was told to listen to right around the 3:40 part, and the lyrics:

"you know where you are with
you know where you are with
floor collapses floating bouncing back and one day..."

This portion of the lyrics is missing on this particular CD player. The other layers in the song are perfectly audible, but like some one with a mixer managed to eliminate these vocals. This phenomenon became known as version 2.0, and the trend continued onto other Radiohead albums. The same CD player played 2 + 2 = 5 from Hail to the Theif with some of the guitar parts excluded.

Then last night, while listening to Let Down again and on this particular stereo all of the highs were missing. This stereo was not a component system, and played other CDs just fine with the full range of sound of them present and audible. Version 2.1 was heard, and I am beginning to wonder if anyone else has ever had this happen to them? Would Radiohead produce their albums to give off this bizarre effect?

And before I leave, ShadowLynx probably posted one of the best comments that I have seen. Other than that tongue-lashing I received for calling Pete Rose a bad manager, who should remain banned from baseball. The Pete Rose comment was great simply because I laughed about it, and it was from a complete stranger.
