Radiohead could have be dropped from their record company after poor sales of their debut single 'Creep', a new film reveals.

The film, entitled 'Anyone Can Play Guitar', follows Radiohead's early days and the music scene in Oxford, were they formed.

''Creep' was a failure on its initial release, as was (album) 'Pablo Honey.' According to their early management, it got to the stage where EMI wanted to drop them,'' promoter Jon Spira told MOJO.

He added: ''[But] a small radio station in San Francisco picked the single up on import and played it until it became the listeners' song of the year. They got a second chance.''

The film, released in the summer, also features never-seen-before footage of Foals, Supergrass and Ride.

Meanwhile, Radiohead have been included in the Gigwise Most Anticipated Albums Of 2011.
