wiReZ Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 The CD title EMI put out for Coldplay's X&Y for journalism reviews (other than the locked ipod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnjoy Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 "The band’s record label have been secretive about sending the album out prior to release. Promo copies of the album were sent to journalists under the pseudonym The Fir Trees." - NME.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeCr_05 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 So... let me see if I understand.... This codename keeps the album from leaking because no-one but the reviewer getting the album would know it's Coldplay's X&Y??... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnjoy Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 I actually think they're hellsadumb... but, they definitly did make something that lots of people will want to get their hands on... all I can do is wonder if the album looks completely different or is in a different case or... :stunned: should be interesting!
