Greenwood said the trove of music was never intended for public consumption, while Yorke described it as "not very interesting".

However, fans have been delighted by the release, which features previously unheard recordings of **Radiohead**classics including Paranoid Android and No Surprises.

Thwarting the hackers, the band say proceeds will go to climate change campaign group **Extinction Rebellion**.

In a statement, Greenwood said: "We got hacked last week - someone stole Thom's minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 (£118,000) on threat of releasing it.
