Well I might be a fan of Coldplay, but I love live music photography (and I did get paid for the shots). I'll have to update my flickr with some new stuff soon. Phil Harvey took some of the shots on the calendar, which are probably the shots from behind the band - those are great.

 

On a separate topic I see you're updating the site again... it's looking good!

 

Haha, yeah trying to, step by step. But school is getting sooo hectic. I try to squeeze in some website stuff every day, even if it's just 5 mins.

 

Next section that will be updated is Speed Of Sound

Well heck, if you've got studying to do then give it priority! :-)

Just snagged a sealed Charlie Brown promo for $28. :)

It's not the studying that consumes my time (I hardly ever study execpt exam periods :p)

 

It's more like do this, make an essay about that, thake pictures of this, interview that person, search an internship,...

 

Just keeps on coming, but I'll manage to keep working on the site piece by pieceThe thing that's most dificult at the moment is being up to date with the latest news. But I don't think a lot of people check my site for that kind of stuff anyways.

Anyone think this is real/legit?

Whether it is or not, it would be awesome to own!

Coldplay The Blue Room HDCD?

 

Good Afternoon,

 

I've Found on ebay following cd:

Is this fake and if not, it's worth as a coldplay-collector to bid?

 

Sorry for my bad english

It's not fake, and it's pretty cool, but nothing special. Not particularly rare, but usually goes for about $30 usd, so price point is good.

It's an unofficial release (not from EMI/Capitol), so it's not really legit. You can buy them much cheaper on discogs.

I have actually always considered these as being fake. Because they advertise it as being The Blue Room/Parachutes and it contains songs fro AROBTTH. So to me, it's just a Chinese HDCD compilation, not an authentic release.

Never bought anymore hdcd since years. They are, imo, not part of coldplay official collection.

So the Don't Panic 12" vinyl I mentioned sold for £113.

The only variation between Blue Room EP CDs I've seen is that earlier ones have "3:1:10" on the CD inner ring, and later ones have "3:1:13". Otherwise identical. I wouldn't let it bother you frankly.

Then apparently it's a re-release. But I'm not worried about it.

Wow I didn't know that! Gotta check that out when I'm back home :p

I've got a better one for you: The original issue of the Brothers and Sisters CD states "NING68CD 01" on the inner ring of the CD itself. The reissue has "NING68CD 02".

My Blue Room copy has :3:1:6: :uhoh:

My Blue Room says CDRDJ6528 1 :1:1 EMI SWINDON :confused:

So we're not sure about the Blue Room then! Oh well. Well I didn't say one was the original and one the reissue as I wasn't sure.

Wowie, so many different numbers... So there were different re-releases or what?

There's only 2, the original and then the re-release in 2001 after the success of Parachutes as far as I know. I'd imagine the numbers might indicate the batch number from when it was manufactured, so if they had a batch that was screwed up they can track down the affected disks much easier.
