Viva La Vida and Violet Hill - differences from album version?

[Benjamin]

I am well aware that the album has leaked.

So could someone tell me if the album versions of these songs are any different to the single versions we've had for a while?

Thanks.

those haven't leaked yet...for what I know. but I'm sure viva la vida is a bit different cause we know a 'single edit'

That's what I've been thinking... the 'New Edit' tag on all iTunes copies of Viva La Vida has made me very suspicious that it's different to the album version.

The read Viva La Vida version played on the radio the other night because Violet Hill started at the end. It was pretty funny as it caught Chris (and the listeners) off guard! Just a shortened ending with the oohs which fades into Violet Hill.

These are NOT the album versions i think...

You're quite right, they're not.

The version of Viva La Vida is off iTunes.
The version of Violet Hill is off coldplay.com
The version of Life In Technicolor is ripped from that video.
None are album versions.

Plus, in the torrent I downloaded, the above 3 were in MP3 format, the others were in WMA.

There's a few differences between the leak and album versions, one that Viva La Vida fades into Violet Hill, etc.

The YouTube videos probably will be soon removed enough once EMI realises its price pork has been nabbed from it like candy from a baby (and we all love nabbing candy from the big fat sooky EMI baby).

And I will laugh at them. And the people whom they hired to scour YouTube for such links. Hard.
