Tracklisting & More Information

HISTORY

COLDPLAY was a name originally conceived by a friend, taken from a book of poetry. Prior to this they were in a boy band called "Pectoralz," and played their first gig under the guise of "Starfish" at Camden Laurel Tree. Then Phil Harvey who was an old school friend of Chris became their manager, and he personally financed Coldplay's first recording and release of the Safety EP as a 500-copies limited CD.

The Safety EP was initially intended as a demo for the record companies. At a cost of around £200, three songs were recorded over a weekend in Sync City Studios: Bigger Stronger, No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground & Such A Rush. They then manufactured and distributed around London. However, most of these copies were given away either to uniformly-underwhelmed record company types or enthusiastic friends and family. By the time any shops were prepared to stock the record, there were only 50 copies left.

Then the CD was heard by the organizors of the Unsigned Bands' Festival for the In the City festival in Manchester. This in turn led to interest from Parlophone records just after NME journalist Simon Williams offered them a one single deal for Brothers and Sisters on his Fierce Panda label.

They then signed to Parlophone and the rest, as they say, is history....
