This is an extremely rare Coldplay Live Sessions 2 disc CD set. Please feel free to make an offer for this exceptional piece of history.
There are several tracks here that casual fans might not recognize because they were never released on a standard studio album:
"Harmless": This is one of the rarest tracks on the CD. It is an unreleased song from the Parachutes era that was only ever performed live once, during a 2 Meter Sessies session in June 2000.
"You Only Live Twice": This is a live cover of the 1967 Nancy Sinatra James Bond theme. Coldplay performed it during their 2001 tour in Norway, and it was eventually released as a B-side on the "Don't Panic" single in March 2001.
"Bigger Stronger": While more well-known to die-hard fans, this song predates their debut album. It was the opening track on their first-ever record, the independently released Safety EP in May 1998.
"Interview" Tracks: Tracks 11 and 13 on Disc Two are designated as "interview" segments, which are common on promotional or bootleg CDs but are never found on official studio albums.
Latest Release Date:
Based on the official debut of these specific recordings:
The latest official release date for any of these songs appears to be March 19, 2001, which is when the live cover of "You Only Live Twice" was released as a B-side.
Most other tracks, like "Yellow," "Trouble," and "Shiver," originate from the Parachutes album, which was released in July 2000.
This confirms the CD is a collection focusing on the band's very early years (1998–2001).
