This makes 238 Coldplay CDs (doubles included, about 190 different) in my inventory. I'm done purchasing for now until my store is up and running.

I picked up both versions of GS. The regular 9-track version and the 12-track "Deluxe Edition" Front Cover Regular Version Deluxe Edition Not sure why Coldplay didn't just include these 3 "bonus tracks" with the regular album. "Ghost Story" is a great song. Probably my #2 favorite next to "Ink".

I'm afraid that promo does not exist.

Does anyone know the release date for GS LP in the US?

I saw it. I think it was real. Didn't look very cool. Kinda plain. I'm waiting for about 6 months to see what comes out and waiting for prices to go down before I buy anything. I still have to go to Target to get the album with the 3 bonus tracks.

Linus, I think this one is real. Unfortunately Parlophone didn't use EMI with GS. They decided to use Warner Music Group for manufacturing / distribution. They have always used fake looking promos. Using Paper printed stickers on the discs and very plain looking inlays. I don't think there will be any singles for sale with GS. It costs too much for the production of a CD single and people just don't buy them like they used to. There may only be 3 promos to look for with GS. Midnight, Magic and the pre-release of the album. Not much excitement with this album for us collectors.

Just got 2 more in today added to my inventory. The Beautiful World of Coldplay promo CD-Rom, free with Tribe magazine subscription. Lovers in Japan, US promo

Chris broke the news to the band about Gwen. HA! Either that or they found out there were no m&m's in the green room.

2 more just arrived today and added to my inventory. They are.... Speed Of Sound, Argentina, Embossed Card Sleeve, Sealed God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, 2-track Card Sleeve promo. The 2-track promo is hard to find. The 1-track promo is most common

OK, here it is. I've taken the time to lay out my CD's arranged by groups. There are no doubles. They either have different tracks or have promo stickers. I pulled all the doubles and triples. Enjoy... Brothers & Sisters The Blue Room e.p. Shiver Yellow Trouble Don't Panic Parachutes era releases Parachutes In My Place The Scientist Clocks (top right, Dutch triple pack wrapped up together) God Put A Smile Upon Your Face A Rush Of Blood To The Head Special Live CD Live 2003 Speed Of Sound Fix You Talk The Hardest Part What If X & Y Coldplay "Gift Pack" Violet Hill Viva La Vida Lost!

One is the UK tour edition (Parlophone logo) and the US tour edition (no logo). Christmas Lights Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall Paradise Charlie Brown Hurts Like Heaven Princess Of China Mylo Xyloto Live 2012 Greatest Hits Atlas Unauthorized CD/DVDs

Received this in the mail and added to my inventory today. Yellow, French Card Sleeve promo. I love the photo on the cover of this version. *sorry it's a single not a promo.

I like how you have them displayed on the shelf. I would do the same but it's too dusty here in Arizona. I would have to dust them all the time. Why don't you display "The Singles" box with them?

"Does this make me look fat?"

Batman- Very funny insect/party favor video.

How would you like to curl up next to that each night?

My mother always told me, "If you keep making that face it will stay that way!" I guess she was right.

We don't always get the chance to get arrested and thrown in jail so why not make the moment memorable.

Coldplay "The Fir Trees, Album" Pre-release CD

More on "The Fir Trees, Album": http://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/may/22/popandrock.coldplay http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4600159.stm

"The Fir Trees, Album" is the name they gave the pre release for X & Y. It was given this name for anti-piracy. The pre-release was issued to magazine, newspaper or radio before the actual release so they can get a chance to review the album. If the CD were lost or stolen Parlophone wanted to make sure that whoever ended up with the copy didn't post it on any music sharing websites or make copies to sell. In hopes the thief or person who found it wouldn't know what it actually was. It was obviously very important to Parlophone and to the band to keep the album a secret until the day of release. This copy is very rare like all acetates or "pre-releases" but mostly because not too many people know what it really is. Read what NME magazine said about "The Fir Trees, Album" http://www.nme.com/reviews/coldplay/7656 5th paragraph

Honestly I don't think about the total dollar amount. It's all for the love of it. If I see a CD or LP I want, I get it no matter the price. That's why I put No1CPfan - aka, "Highest Bidder". I don't put a bid in until the last few seconds and then I drop a bomb on it. I'll place a huge bid and when the dust settles I end up paying one bid higher than the previous high bid. Have to be careful with this method. If someone else drops a bomb or has a really high auto bid I might get stuck with a super high final price. Hasn't happened yet.

Batman- very funny video.

I saved the best for last!
