December 12, 201015 yr I remember when "Strawberry Swing" promo was released... People spoke about only 500 copies made... At first it was expensive to get a copy, but now it´s a cheap promo, it´s easy to get on ebay... I hope there will be the same with "Christmas Lights". But, if it´s true that there´s only 100 copies... I can´t forget to bid on a copy... too much expensive for me!

If these we're the only copies eve, we're screwed. But even the Safety EP comes on eBay from time to time
December 12, 201015 yr Looks like the second promo (the one that gor sold for over 300$) is a real one. Another one just like it popped up, and it seems like it has the prospekt handwriting printed on them. http://cgi.ebay.com/Coldplay-Christmas-Lights-Mega-Rare-Promo-CD-/120659719392?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item1c17e134e0#ht_1456wt_1139

December 12, 201015 yr 98.4 feedback rating with five negatives in 12 months. Pro seems to be real; wouldn't go for it with this guy, though. Not sure if they changed the rules, but paypal used to require a minimum feedback rating for the non-responsive seller before filing a claim. Can't recall what it was.
December 13, 201015 yr I have called EMI. They said there are no promo editions. The DJ's gets also the digital version.
December 13, 201015 yr Agreed. Three different sellers with the same product that reportedly doesnt exist. Everyone that gets one needs to post for comparison.
December 13, 201015 yr Me too, but the lack of info legitimately feeds the insecurity about the items validity. If those fortunate to obtain a copy were willing to take a snap shot and share, minimally we can validate it is real and does exist. From there, you said it best, only time will tell the tale of its value.
December 22, 201015 yr Why can't people just be happy to have been in the the video. Why do some people always have to be gimme gimme gimme. Totally agree with you Angie. I'm just fuckin' happy to have been in the video and to watch it from the side in the company of some very cool fans :wink:
December 22, 201015 yr Wat are we thinking about his one then? http://cgi.ebay.com/Coldplay-Christmas-Lights-JAPAN-PROMO-CDR-2010-/260711165699?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3cb398af03#ht_2787wt_905

December 22, 201015 yr It should have an EMI serial starting with TOCP-XXXX. I'd guess fake. Yes, that's what I thought too, but it looks a lot like the other Chinese promo's
December 22, 201015 yr I don't disagree. Have an email into my Japanese connection. I'm mostly bothered by the lack of a serial. Don't think I have any Japanese promos (including an AROBTTH cassette) without a serial. Doesn't look bad (like that Safety ep), but throws me off a bit. I'll let you know if I hear any info before auction ending.
December 24, 201015 yr Can anyone that obtained a copy of the promo Christmas Lights CD email me a photo of the CD top, insert &/or envelope? Not the pop-up, the radio promo. Thanks a lot! [email protected]
December 25, 201015 yr ^I'm on it! About the japanese promo, I was thinking: the regular christmas promo doesn't have a catalog n° either, right? So it would be quite 'normal' if this one wouldn't have on either right?
December 25, 201015 yr I'm pretty sure the jap one is not genuine. I can bet only on the pop up one and on the promo one. Stop. No other versions. And, let's say this, the j one is really simple to handmake. One of the only printable discs i can be sure it can be genuine is the french what if? promo, not the embossed one, the printable one. I'll not bid on this j "probably fake" promo.

December 25, 201015 yr It may be easy to handprint, there have been japanese promo's who look almost exavtly alike, and which were genuine
