The Bends

EMI gave Radiohead nine weeks to record The Bends and scheduled for release in October 1994. Work on the album started in February 1994, but was interrupted by tours in May and June. In between tours, the band spent two weeks recording at Manor studio in Oxfordshire. After an abandoned deadline, Recording ended in November 1994 at Abbey Road Studios in London.
