because EMI has to be heavily involved in this deal, i'm thinking that there's a slight possibility that they would try to make the most of this venture by putting a few unreleased songs on there, or giving them to the BBC to use. they could use any sort of marketing ploy to make money these days, and putting a sticker on the front of a release saying "PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED COLDPLAY TRACKS" would probably make even MORE money than just an album of live songs. of course, i could be totally wrong, but they're looking to make any sort of big money these days, and what's better than releasing a couple of unheard tracks from their biggest band? i think they'd let the BBC have at least a couple.

 

I doubt it, it will be just songs played live at the bbc.

 

For example:

I doubt EMI has the rights to the unreleased songs as they are unreleased

Deserter will never be released.....well I think anyway. Sadly for us.... :/

It might get released on the forthcoming greatest hits package ;)
