Hi chums

Let's discuss CD and record collecting here!

EDIT:

The Coldplay Discography Guide site is a great resource:
New, unfinished version
Old, more complete version.

Let's discuss CD and record collecting here!

Ha! I've been dying to have thread like this where you can ask questions about releases to fellow collectors ! But I'm the kind of person to start threads, so thanks!

Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love the Coldplay collectors community! I witness the whole thing from close range, and I haven't met a single jerk! I have special bond with some and I love talking to then about all differnet kind of releases

Cheese Nip 2 · 31-03-2012, 02:35 AM

I recentally bought a Violet Hill 7" and it's in great condition! The guy who sold it to me was really nice and took great care to make sure it arrived in the states safe and sound! Other then that the only Coldplay vinyl I have so far is Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, and it is a thing of beauty, I'll tell ya!

YellowTeardrops13 · 31-03-2012, 03:56 AM

Let me think... I only have 5 Coldplay CD's, the 7" singles set, ETIaW 7", and 2 vinyl albums. The CD's I have are ARoBttH, Viva la Vida, Viva la Vida (Prospekt's March Edition), Every Teardrop single, and Mylo Xyloto (with the running man t-shirt). The vinyl albums I have are Mylo Xyloto and Prospekt's March. I plan/hope to get the Up With the Birds/UFO 7" single at Record Store Day!!!!

This is cool! I had posted a CP collectors guide on eBay years ago, and often get messages with questions. I always happily answer, then refer people to this specific forum and to the most fantastic coldplaydiscography site around (you know which one!). :-)

Haha shouldn't be mine, it feels like it has been 'on hold' for ages now

LARD · 31-03-2012, 05:30 PM

I've been trying to build up my vinyl collection, as I have most of the CDs (I only collect the Parlophone ones). Managed to buy a 12" numbered Blue Room EP recently for just £24, so I was really pleased with that!

One CD I'd really like though (for a half decent price) is the EU promo of Lovers in Japan!

Denise · 31-03-2012, 05:47 PM

That's a great price for it, well done

Let's hope all of us will come here in three weeks happy to have the RSD 7" in our hands

Also, talking about vinyls, there are 2 copies of the Viva la Vida promo 12", limited to 300 copies, on ebay. They don't come cheap (150£), but they're sold by Oxfam, so if you need a little something to convince you to buy it, think the money is going to a great cause and you're gonna get a very very nice collector's item

doritji · 31-03-2012, 08:29 PM

Thanks for the edit in the first post, I feel flattered

Cheese Nip 2 · 31-03-2012, 10:03 PM

Just found the Prospekt's March CD at my local record store for $2! And what a find it was! I've been searching for ever!

Jack Bauer · 01-04-2012, 10:50 PM

I got Christmas lights for 160 bucks on discogs nobody understands why I spent so much money for a one track Cd but it was worth it right?

DundahMifflin · 02-04-2012, 06:03 AM

Whilst cleaning out my room tonight, I noticed I was missing a handful of singles and EP's I've somehow managed to not get yet.

This one is what I am contemplating buying or not, solely because the price. Is it worth it?

I wouldn't do it for that price. The promo single usually goes for about 5$( and the vinyl doesn't show up that often, but they often start at a low price.

Spacejam · 04-04-2012, 09:38 AM

Got a hold of a CB promo, pictured next to the ETIAWF single for reference. It's the only rare item I have right now. Got it off eBay for $25, which wasn't too bad. Saw a bunch on musicstack for $35 a pop, shipped from the UK, but they've dropped to $23 if anyone's looking.

Now to find a Paradise promo. Anyone have one, and how much did you pay and from where?

LARD · 04-04-2012, 11:29 AM

There's a Paradise promo on ebay right now. I'd try to bid, but they want $40 to ship to the UK which is ridiculous!
