According to The Press Association:"An exclusive remix of Radiohead's song Videotape, released on a single VHS signed by the band, is to go on sale at an online charity auction.
The four-hour remix video will raise funds for Missing People, the UK's leading charity for missing and unidentified people.
It was recorded by James Rutledge, who has produced and remixed for Bloc Party and The Kills. He was recently included in the NME Future 50 list as one of the "bands, artists and innovators driving music forward".
His friend and former Dakota Oak band mate, Dave Tyack, went missing in Corsica in August 2002. The charity was in constant contact with the Tyack family until his body was found in June 2004.
Rutledge said: "The charity gave his family continued support during that incredibly difficult time, as they do for thousands of others each year.
"The service that the charity provides is vital to those left wondering what has happened to their loved ones. It is hard to imagine what it is like to have no idea where someone you love is, whether they are alive or dead even. At times like this the charity can be a lifeline."
Paul Tuohy of Missing People said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of signed Radiohead memorabilia and let's face it, it's the ultimate Christmas present for a Radiohead fan."
The original version of Videotape is on Radiohead's most recent album In Rainbows.
Bidding ends at 10pm on Sunday December 21."

I find it hard to believe that the current bid is only 205£. I wonder what it's going to go for.
