Recording


Radiohead recorded various demos of "Stop Whispering" while they were an unsigned band in Abingdgon, Oxfordshire.[6] One version impressed the owner of another local studio, Chris Hufford, who became Radiohead's co-manager with his partner Bryce Edge.[6] The band recorded it for their first album, Pablo Honey (1993).[7] According to co-producer Paul Kolderie, “We tinkered with it a bit. It was kind of a sprawling thing and we weren't sure how long it would be."[6]

Radiohead re-recorded "Stop Whispering" for the US single, as they were not happy with the album version; guitarist Ed O'Brien said the new version was "more atmospheric", like a Joy Division record.[8]


Release


"Stop Whispering" was the third single released from Pablo Honey. It was unsuccessful.[9] Jimmy Eat World covered the song on their EP Damage.[10]
