There was another one on ebay about a couple weeks after this was on sale. When I remember correctly that one was sold for 200 or so Pounds. This makes it the 4th original copy I have ever seen (1 handwritten, 3 with label). Any more out there...?

Just click on Coldplay Multimedia and go for the Violet Hill Download Mirror thread. There's the link.

RS worked well. Many thanks.

Same here. That's certainly not a good start for a disappointment-free Coldplay season...

It definitely looks like the real thing. I have one (bought on ebay in 2005) and this one looks exactly like it. As far as I can tell, this is only the second time that an original 'printed label' cassette comes up for sale on ebay. There was also a 2nd original version with a 'handwritten label' on ebay about 3 years ago which is recorded on exactly the same cassette brand.

Dutch and Columbian are also 2CDs you can all play in a normal CD player. The Columbian version is nice since this has exclusive live stuff you won't find anywhere else. I don't have the Japanese set but I saw it once in a shop. When I remember correctly the second disc is also a CD rather than DVD.

1. Spies 2. Clocks 3. Speed of Sound

You can get it on the Australian 'Talk' 3 track CDs or the Dutch 'X&Y' 2 CD Special Edition. Unfortunately, both are copy-protected but its still nice to have it on CD.
