Seems to be just a re-release of this with a different cover. A bit lazy of them not to include Mylo Xyloto with it.

Bought my copy of Live 2012 and Moving to Mars today from a digital download store of my choice that isn't iTunes. Wait, my mistake. Coldplay aren't interested in giving their fans choices. Currently, the digital version of Live 2012 is inexplicably only available from iTunes. The less said about Moving to Mars, the better. Looks like I'll have to buy something completely different instead then. In this case, I've opted for Keane's Live Recordings: European Tour 2008 and the B-side to their Sovereign Light Café single. Unfortunately, Live Recordings 2008 has vanished from several download stores, Juno Download being one of the few who still has it. Still, at least a variety of stores had it at some point or still have it, which is a step up from whatever bullshit limited release Coldplay are trying to peddle to their fans this week. I was also going to buy another song other than the Hurts Like Heaven single, but I see they're going down the Charlie Brown route again, where they don't actually release a single and then pretend they have. :rolleyes:

For what it's worth, the Princess of China acoustic version and the Paradise remix aren't listed as PoC B-sides on the recordings page either. Not that I'm expecting there to be a B-side with Hurts Like Heaven anyway.

Haven't bought it or even listened to it, nor do I have any intention of doing so. But X&Y's birthday was back in June...

Considering Coldplay's idea of releasing things now is in an artificially limited way which only benefits their favoured company of the week, I'm glad they're not "releasing" any B-sides.

Finally, some more live songs. They just haven't released enough of these lately.

The K in Politik was Phil Harvey's idea, IIRC.

Can't wait to see how Coldplay fuck this one up.

Anywhere on the album that isn't an iTunes exclusive would be fine by me.
