COLDPLAY - A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD / UK DISCOGRAPHY

by Ramzy

Coldplay are.

Guy Berryman – bass

Jon Buckland – guitar

Will Champion – drums

Chris Martin – vocals, piano

Coldplay official website.

www.coldplay.com

Throughout, I’ve only included (legal) downloads if the tracks in question are not listed in the discography anywhere else, as it seemed pointless to go back and augment the entire back catalogue with a load of mp3s that didn’t have any specifics anyway.

This discography is still very much a work-in-progress and any corrections or additions are always welcome.

Thanks in particular to.

Chris Brown

Mike John

Will Foster

Elly Baker

a man who wishes to be known as Chuck Rocks

Paul Morgan

Red Two

CM the scientist (Toni)

Terry Beard

and to all others who have provided me with catalogue numbers, track lengths and other stuff.

SAFETY E.P.

18th May 1998

1998 UK (no label [pressed at Hilton Grove]; HGCD 633) [x500; privately pressed and distributed]

4.48

No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground

4.59

Such A Rush

[initially intended as a demo for record companies, but the band were so pleased with the results that it was decided it should be released commercially as an EP.  The money was raised for the manufacture of 500 copies, only around 50 of which made it to the shops as the rest were given out to record companies and friends.]

Brothers And Sisters

3.50

Only Superstition

[I think the matrix numbers are the only way to tell these two issues apart; I believe them to be otherwise identical]

[a one-off single for Fierce Panda after the head of the label, Simon Williams, was impressed by their set at the Manchester music festival In The City.  The single received some good reviews and brought them to the attention of Parlophone, who signed them in 1999.]

[the UK CDs seem to have some variation in colouring of the sleeve – some seem to be decidedly orange, whereas others appear more yellow.  It may be that the reissue, with the right hand side title, has a different colour from the others – however, there are considerable differences between the digipak and jewel case versions.]

VHS

2000 UK (Parlophone; n/a) [promo video; PAL]

Yellow (video)

[a favourite to be a single in early summer 2000, the mixing of this track left the band extremely tight deadlines to finish the album so it would be ready for release soon after the single, which everyone suspected was a hit.  However, the album and mix were completed in time and the single disappointed no-one, going top 5 in the UK and paving the way for the success of Parachutes.]

The Hardest Part

[in the same way as ‘Don’t Panic’ and ‘God Put A Smile Upon Your Face’, the British release of X&Y’s fourth single stalled at the promo stage as plans for a 12” live EP [12R 6687, listed by some online retailers with a projected April 2006 release date] were shelved, apparently without explanation.  Nonetheless, a video was produced and premiered on Channel 4 as ‘Speed Of Sound’, ‘Fix You’ and ‘Talk’ had been.]
