Past Releases

Could somebody please explain to me how this box works?! I just received this today, and I can't figure it out! Does the CD disc holder slide down and the DVD disc holder slide up? Or do they both slide down? Are both disc holders supposed to be connected, i.e. if you pull the CD disc holder down, is the DVD disc holder supposed to slide up or something like that? What's the purpose of the plastic band connecting the CD and DVD disc holders? Are the disc holders supposed to never really be fully removed from the outer white box? Also, is there supposed to be a booklet in this package? Both discs refer to a booklet, and there seems to be a rear pocket that would be suit…

...be it CD, vinyl, DVD, etc? And which is your most valued or rare release?

I am new to this forum and joined to rave about seeing them live in Sydney on March 15th. Iv'e gone from just liking them to a massive fan. They even come close to my all time favourite band oasis, Yes I was guilty of underestimating them but I now think they are hugely under estimated, I have all four albums (all brought when they came out so I brought Parachutes in 2000) but X&Y is still my favourite. I do get the feeling though, that it is regarded by the hard core fans as a blip on their copy book. I read descriptions like over produced, pop music, contrived not the coldplay sound et etc etc. But sorry I just love this album, it is up there with my f…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3blbSIvQ0z4]YouTube - Coldplay - A Ghost[/ame] i have to beat myself, cause i didnt know about this song! shame on me! what about you?

I recently decided that Chris Martin writes songs with more depth and meaning than almost anyone else in the world, so I've decided that I will periodically go through and rate every song based on the following criteria: 1.) Originality 2.) Musicality 3.) Meaning Each criteria will receive a maximum of five points, a perfect score is a fifteen out of fifteen, I will start from song one of album one which is Don't Panic from Parachutes. Don't Panic Originality: 2/5 This may seem like a poor score, but I'm rating Chris' songs on his entire body of work for the Album they are from, and this is clearly one of Chris' first songs he wrote. The song has nice lyric…

Similar to "Don't Panic", this song repeats similar st…

Which Coldplay song do you believe should have been released as a fully fledged single?

Hello, I just started to collect all Coldplay singles and albums, which are released in vinyl versions. But there are some of which I don't know, if there are vinyl versions. So can anyone tell me, which of the following releases are available on vinyl? Thanks a lot :) Lost! Norwegian Live Brothers & Sisters Safety Lovers in Japan Viva la Vida

Does anyone know where I can download the B-Sides and tracks found on the vinyl promotions? Thanks.:D

I was browsing through the Coldplay discography today, comparing singles and b-sides. I think if I had to choose just one, it would be Shiver. 1. Shiver 2. For You 3. Careful Where You Stand I practically orgasm just looking at that tracklist. Your favorite?

I'm having a hard time finding them. I have a collection of Coldplay albums that I want to complete, and I currently have Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, X&Y, Viva la Vida, and Prospekt's March. I want to get all of their albums, including all EPs and singles and B-sides. Where could I be able to buy some of these? Some of them aren't on Amazon. And I wasn't sure of where I should put this topic. Thanks!

while listening to this gem tonight i started thinking about these lyrics Runnin' in circles, Comin' in tails, Heads on a science apart... and it got me to thinking............what does that bit mean?

Ok, I tried and searched messageboard, but I couldn't find such thread, if it exists, please, give me link. Cause, everyone's discussing only VLV and Prospekt's March lyrics. And i wonder, where can i discuss another songs? In tracksearch section there is link to messageboard and is written "feel free to discuss lyrics", but it doesn't lead me to such thread. If there's no such thread, then let's discuss other coldplay songs from previous albums here!!!!:laugh3:

I've been around here for a long time, but I'm mostly just a lurker. That being said, forgive me if this has been discussed. I've been toying around with Viva La Vida, Prospekts March and a few of the B-sides that have surfaced, and have attempted at making an ultimate track listing for VLV. Here's what I've come up with, and I think you should give it a try. Feel free to post your own. (I realize that part of the beauty of VLV is the flow of the songs, but it's all in fun!) 1. Life in Technicolor ii 2. Cemeteries of London 3. Lost! 4. Rainy Day 5. Lovers In Japan/ Reign of Love 6. Glass of Water 7. 42 8. Postcards From Far Away 9. Viva La Vida 10. Violet…

Listen to this remix of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida". It's really cool! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyChEwghnrY]YouTube - Viva La Vida (Thin White Duke Mix) - Coldplay[/ame]

Someone said they read an article which said there's a version of Parachutes where Will is singing and Chris only playing the guitar. How true is that?

I have been searching all over the internet for this last cd to complete my entire coldplay Shiver collection. It is known as the french press copy of shiver and the blue room ep. I saw that one sold on eil.com a while ago but no picture. I really need this CD and I will have all the shiver albums that were ever produced and I can finally frame them. PLEASE any one out there who knows anything about this CD let me know. I am willing to pay a lot of cash. I saw that a member named 66 has it but has not been on for sometime now. Let me know if ANYONE has it....

So, then, people....how would we have made the video? Let's keep the same location, but everything else can be changed.

This rare promo was sold on e-bay this week. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130289113760&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:GB:1123 I am sure in the coming months the seller will sell multiple copies of the CD as I've noticed him selling other CD-r acetates (fakes) after purchasing a genuine copy. If you see the item on sale on e-bay please post here and see if my hunch is correct.

I love the new one, but I've never heard the old one. How can I hear it? Is it really much better? 'Talk' now RULES!

...and not experience just the most incredible rush, this need to get up and spin around in circles and bang invisible drums and try & try & scream to hit the high notes, and then collapse and marvel at how the song still sounds so incredibly fresh? All of this in spite of its kinda downer message, of course. :P

Congratulations boys. 6,8 million sold.

This has been driving me crazy. Are there multiple releases of the Blue Room EP on cd, and if so, which is the original. What is the UPC (barcode) on everyone's Blue Room EP? Also, what record company (some might say EMI)? Mine is a Parlophone release UPC: 724388782524 According to coldplaying.com, there was a re-issue. http://www.coldplaying.com/page.php?file=/html/discography/blueroom.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Room_EP Does anyone have the 12" vinyl record label and UPC? P.S. I am more than aware of the 7" vinyl release, this is not the re-issue I am talking about. P.P.S. The promo version does not count (does it even have a UPC?)

Quick question, and apols for being a dull newbie probably asking a million time answered question. I saw Coldplay support some terrible band called Terris in .... oooh.. 1999 ?? 2000 ?? Anyway, i thought they were pretty good and went out and bought a 12" called Blue Room some time later. Its got an individual number in the bottom left hand corner. I cant find any mention of this anywhere on Ebay / online. Any ideas ? Am i rich ?
