ok i have a cd the outside looks like this

according to the hot and coldplay discography, it's the Sparks: UK Promotional EP, but then i looked at the picture of the cd that's up there, it's not the same.

 

it looks more like this, but it doesn't have the word "acoustic" on it

 

the cds have the same tracklisting and the one cd i have, the catalog number is CDSP241

 

which cd do i have?

I think it maybe the Australian promo

 

Put it in your compy if it has a DVD player sortta thing

and if it has the Yellow Vid on it it maybe that

the European version has the vid on too

though just the CD above says

nothing if the vid.

It is also a deleted title

However there are many with the same cat# so I cannot norrow it down yet

I've seen that orange cover on a load of different Coldplay stuff...I've no idea why, but maybe because it's not official?

there's two that look very similar. Both have the same front cover and similar tracks. One of them is called "Acoustic" which has 4 tracks and was originally distributed with copies of the Indepentent Newspaper. It was a UK promotion featuring Sparks, Careful Where You Stand, See You Soon and an acoustic version of Yellow.

The 2nd one is a 5-track, and is a sampler from Canada with this track list

1. Sparks

2. Careful Where You Stand

3. Yellow (Acoustic Version)

4. See You Soon

5. Yellow (Video)

hehe simple :)

Sorry for bumping this ancient thread, but I just have a little question.

 

How rare is this Sparks EP? I can buy it from someone for €25 (including shipping costs), is that too much? I'd really like to have it for my collection :p

Well theres one on Amazon now going for $60 So thats about £35, Which is... 50 Euros? about?

for 25 Euros seems worth it, based on this alone.

 

Plus, Sorry if my exchange rates are well off.

Yeah, I also checked eBay and it seems that it isn't too expensive.

 

Thanks :)
