I don't own the VIVA CD/DVD special edition, but I do own chinese version of VLVODAAHF + a chinese version of the prospekt's march edition. of all the X&Y special editions I own the special dutch edition, Latin American edition and soon I will also get the South east Asian edition and the Australian tour edition sent to me. what about you ?

chinese people don't like spies in general I guess :p

about what part ? :p

they do actually, especially Parachutes. There are a lot of release there (espacially Asian releases) which have extra tracks, but those are always b-sides. Like for parachutes, extra tracks are For You and Careful Where You Stand. Also, some Asian release of Parachutes don't contain Spies, as it got forbidden there. As far asI know, AROBTTH doesn't have these kind of releases. Some promo releases of the album do contain yellow, but regular releases overall of this album have the same tracklisting.

I posted pictures a while back but they a) got removed so the links don't work anymore b) not up to date anymore i'll take some pictures as soon as my newly bought stuff arrives, which shouldn't take very long ;) oh and don't expect too much from it, I think Stefan has got more than me

@ Stefan nah, you'll have the major releases i guess :p really great collection btw, i know how it feels to be so obsessed by the whole collecting of Coldplay singles and it costs a lot of money indeed. Like today, i made a deposit of 94€ for more stuff ( i found a collector who is selling a lot of rare stuff to me for fair prices, but it's so much and so expensive that i have to pay it in parts :p ) but anyways: your collection is just AWESOME, especially the Viva-era stuff. i'm kinda behind on that stuff, but you have got them all. Kepp up the good work ! oh and for the scan, i don't need that one anymore, i bought the vinyl myself a couple of days ago ;-) and i'm really interested in the catalogue you're making: is that of your stuff only, or of all the releases?

nice collection Stefan ! I think for this part, i've got as much stuff as you do :p so i'm not feeling bad yet, but there's still a lot to come I guess ! but still: really really great collection

i would've wanted to know if she still owns a sefety EP copy :p (and if she would want to sell to me :sneaky:). But still, great interview

i wanna see =)

wow thanks for putting them up here !! I have always been fascinated by the Coldplay artwork, and t's nice to see how it came to being so wonderful. thanks !!

that is just amazing !! :stunned: really, you are one talented person ! i wouldn't mind having this hanging in my living room, it's art, and not just art, it's Coldplay art.:cool: just really really impressive!

yip, but they gave most away to friends and family so it is unknown how much are really out there with fans/sellers. If i had to take a guess: 50-100

yeah, nice collection !

he fell of his toilet once ....

I thought just the same! 'found' this? you'd really have to be from the (local) crew to be able to find it.

yeah that would be awesome ! i'm a collector myself and i'm always interested in those who have better collections than mine, it keeps me going :cool:

the Safety Ep is the mother of all rare ( and expensive ) coldplay releses. it's not impossible to find one, but more impossible to pay one. prices go from 700-900 € so good luck with that. Personally i've seen less mince spies come up on ebay, but they cost a handful less than the Safety EP. probably a 150-250 € Lovers in japan will probably not be sold in regular cd stores as virgin megastore, try looking for smaller cd stores that specify in rare singles. There are also like 'meetings' of cd collectors than seel their stuff. I always got to one in my neighbourhood and always come back with loads of coldplay stuff i don't have yet for much less than on ebay. ( the blue parachutes promo f.e, 8€). But ebay is your friend mate, it's the best way to get rare stuff from all over the world. I think every coldplay collector on here buy stuff of there

you lucky bastard :stunned: sorry if i insulted you, it's just the jealousy talking ;)

if it's not too indiscrete... how much did you pay for it? :stunned:

that it doesn't excist would be a good reason for me not finding it :P i've checked it with my singles and the cases i have are the exact same. Maybe you should check out a 'platenbeurs' too. it's good for your collection

i've been looking for them too and guess what! this weekend i found them. The exact same cases, 0.30 € / piece on a well i don't really knwo the word in english but surely you'll know what i mean if i say platenbeurs :P I bought 20 and now i can replaces all my broken or damaged cases :D btw stephan, i'm looking for the catalogue number of the european/ UK slimline promo release of lovers in japan, can you help me with that ? :\

seconded !

great shirt! (and thanks everyone for the belated birthday wishes :) ) I hung them up in my room yesterday and they look even more awesome now ! Maybe i'll post a photo of that one these days

My birthday was yesterday and i got 2 pictures of coldplay on canvas from my sister and mother. They arrived in the post today and look like this: the pictures aren't that great and they look really small on there, but they aren't. They look really cool :cool:

it's the one in a slimline casing right ? I paid 25 with shipping costs to belgium
