That pic is obviously fanmade to me. It's practically the same part of the wall as the Charlie Brown single. I don't know if that promo is genuine or not. It's just so weird that this one has been online for a couple of weeks, and usually, others soon follow, making it possible to confirm if it's legit or not. But this has been the only one for a couple of weeks now.

I wouldn't do it for that price. The promo single usually goes for about 5$( and the vinyl doesn't show up that often, but they often start at a low price.

The more I think about it, the more I think we can only expect an official coldplay.com statement on April 20th or even 21th ! I think with these quantities they'll try to provide making the crowd too excited in advance. Imagine what would happen if everyone knew about this?

So in conclusion (because it's getting really complicated :p ), this is what we think will be the copies available in these countries: US: 1000 Copies UK: 500 Copies France: 300 Copies Rest of Europe: 200 Copies

the wikipedia page seems to have been edited 4hours ago with the same artwork http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_with_the_Birds (or did somebody on here do that?)

Thanks for the edit in the first post, I feel flattered :p

I should hire you for my website ;-)

Now that looks legitimate! Thanks for the information !! (can I tweet :P ? )

Haha shouldn't be mine, it feels like it has been 'on hold' for ages now :laugh3:

Ha! I've been dying to have thread like this where you can ask questions about releases to fellow collectors ! But I'm the kind of person to start threads, so thanks! Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love the Coldplay collectors community! I witness the whole thing from close range, and I haven't met a single jerk! I have special bond with some and I love talking to then about all differnet kind of releases :smug:

Well all I can tell is that they were released on physical (mostly promo) singles. I don't have these files, but I bet they're out there somewhere...

Have radio/singles on the physical (promo) release: Paradise Charlie Brown Life In Technicolor ii Talk Viva La Vida Strawberry Swing God Put A Smile Upon Your Face That's about it I guess.. It's possible that I skipped a few, but anyways these should help you get started. They probably aren't all available one iTunes though.

Did anyboday actually send in a question to the Oracle about this? Maybe she'll give us a hint?

Maybe, they mean acoustic versions?

Well that could be, but that would mean they'd only have 4 days (make it 3 since they're playing late at night). To press, package and ship 2000 7" vinyl singles. I have no idea about those things, but I think that's pretty tight.. Coldplay.com just say something!

I just don't like to take credit for things that I didn't do, so I'd rather ask ;) But wait a minute... Live versions.. They haven't played any of those songs live, how are they gonna pull that off ?

Now that would be good quantities! I think you're right about those. And so it'll be live versions eh? (Again, can I use your information? I'll mention you ;) )

The artwork for White Shadows was grey with the typical code blocks.

I think those lists just copy paste the world wide releases. I saw it on a list of my local record store as well, but the list was as long as the first one we encountered and I don't think tehy'll be selling them all.

Haha, I'm sorry then for saying you did ;) Too bad that the quantity isn't mentioned there. It could still be part of the 500 UK ones...

Not 100% sure, the Europe list still has to be made public some time this week (Tash should know when exaclty)

I think no one can say for sure that they'll be able to get a copy. Most record stores won't put items aside and even if they do, they might not be able to get a copy. For now it's wait and see

Great version, seems to capture the emotion of the ceremony well. Our country has been mourning all week and this song could be the 'soundtrack' of this dark period in the history of Belgium and all other countries that were involved. It's really emotional

What do you mean by that? If we got a confirmation that we'll be certain of a copy?

Yes exactly what's keeping them so long. The news got out more than a week ago, you'd expect them to tell us what's going on. We don't need much, just the artowrk and availability. C'mon Coldplay.com, you can do it! And yes, I've been contacting loads of stores and people and well, I'm starting to think eBay will be the only way..
