4.0 out of 5 stars Curious Hodgepodge but Great Songs, October 15, 2003
By Paul Allaer (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"Sparks" is one of the better songs from Coldplay's debut album "Parachutes". It is issued here in combination with some other already-released songs in a curious hodgepodge, but the quality of the songs is never in doubt.

"Careful Where You Stand" was originally issued on the "Shiver" single from "Parachutes". The song starts off with Chris Martin only on accoustic guitar, and gradually giving way to additional (yet sparse) instrumentation. Chris' lyrics are ever as sensitive (for example, "I Am Cured When I'm By Your Side"). "Yellow" comes in an accoustic version, from the same British TV show that has "Shiver (Accoustic)" on the "Trouble" single. The best song perhaps is "See You Soon", which originally appeard on "The Blue Room" EP in 1999. It's an absolute gem, with Chris solo on accoustic guitar. For good measure this release also has the "Yellow" video.

I'm not sure whether this was ever intended as a commercial release or whether this is just a promo release, but either way it contains some great early-Coldplay songs. You won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars The only thing that's good about this cd is that it's rare, March 14, 2003
By Patrick Hall (Orem, UT United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this last summer because it was only 5 or 6 bucks .

It's a nice EP simply because I love all the songs on it. Sparks is one of my favorite songs from Parachutes, and Careful Where You Stand and See You Soon are both some of the most beautiful songs in the world. If you can't find this EP, be sure to get both of these songs on the Brothers and Sisters EP and the Blue Room EP.

The "Yellow" video is just the MTV video and it only plays at about 3x3 inches. Pretty cheap, but I guess it's cool to have the video of Coldplay's first breakthrough single for my children to watch in 25 years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not their best, January 31, 2004
By vedderoh1 "vedderoh1" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Considering that this is a promotional CD and not an official release, we can't hold Coldplay responsible for putting out a bunch of songs that not only don't represent their great music, but could also confuse newcommers. I agree with another reviewer who says the best thing about this is its "rare" condition. "Sparks" is just a common ballad that does not shine like others. "Careful where you stand" is a bit better and one of their earlier works. "See you soon" is definitely the jewel of this single, a song that can also be found in the very hard to get Blue Room EP. The acoustic version of "Yellow" is good but still doesn't compare to the majestic performances maybe some of you have got a chance to listen to in other singles. The bonus video is also a plus if you are a fan. Overall not bad, but not great either. Definitely an item for collectors and true fans only.
