Disc 3 (Shiver) plays at 45 rpm on side A and 33 1/3 rpm on side B. Disc 8 (The Scientist) is marked 45 rpm on the side A label and 33 1/3 rpm on the side B label, but in fact both sides play at 33 1/3 rpm. Disc 9 (Clocks) is marked 33 1/3 rpm on both labels, but both sides play at 45 rpm. All other discs play at 45 rpm on both sides.
Sides E to T are labelled as "A" and "B" on each respective disc. Sides U to AD are labelled as "X" and "Y" on each respective disc, in keeping with the various labelling conventions of the original singles.
Incorrect credits on discs 1 and 2 (The Blue Room E.P.), reprinted from the 12" version (The Blue Room E.P.): sleeve credits (but not the main tracklist) refer to tracks A2 and A3 instead of B1 and B2, and to track B1 instead of track C1.
Incorrect credits on disc 6 (Don't Panic), reprinted from the 12" version (Don't Panic): both vinyl and sleeve credits mark that side A contains two tracks ("Don't Panic" and "You Only Live Twice (Live From Norway)") and side B contains "Bigger Stronger (Live From Norway)". However there's no A2 on this 7-inch, and side B contains "You Only Live Twice (Live From Norway)".
Incorrect credits on disc 7 (In My Place), reprinted from the 12" version (In My Place): "mixed by" credit on sleeve refers to a track B2 that doesn't exist.
Incorrect credits on discs 14 (What If) and 15 (The Hardest Part): in both cases, the inner sleeves entirely duplicate the credits from disc 12 (Fix You) in error, referring to a non-existent "edit" on each respective A-side and a B-side in each case that was recorded at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool, and Air Studios, London, even though both discs in fact feature B-sides recorded at live shows. As a result, the Tom Lord-Alge remix of What If on side AA is uncredited.
Discs with stamped runouts pressed at Portal Space, identified by format, font and spacing of matrix numbers, and by the letters "PS" on discs 8 (The Scientist) and 9 (Clocks). A separate pressing of this box (The Singles 1999-2006) has discs 4 (Yellow), 6 (Don't Panic), 12 (Fix You) and 13 (Talk) pressed at GZ, identified by format of code stamped in runouts.
Discs 8 (The Scientist), 9 (Clocks), 11 (Speed Of Sound) and 12 (Fix You) appear to have been pressed using the metalwork from the original 7-inch single releases in 2002, 2003 and 2005.

Edited 2 years agothe sound quality of this boxset is Great!
its a wonderfull sounding pressing and would be a great buy to get all early Coldplay singles from Parasuites - a rush of blood to the head and X&Y.
quality control isn't the greatest. i got mine brand new and there are a few singles in the box who doesnt come without any problems.
my box came with a 50% mix of bad pressings and 50% good pressings.
here are my few problems with it:
- 4 singles were misspressed. alot of wow-Flutter as the press didn't came came on streight i assume. its not a pleasant lissening experience.
- fewer singles had problems with an just too small center hole making them not fit on my turntables.
- also few singles came wraped. one was just about a little too warped to make the B-side skip 5 times...
i don't know if more people had the same problem with this too. but if it is i really don't feel like spending over $100 on this set if it has more issues. i returned my boxset sadly.... -
This is a nice set with almost every Coldplay B-side from the early Parlophone era, but a few of the discs have some pretty intrusive surface noise. Strangely the worst affected are The Scientist (both sides) and Clocks (especially side B) even though they're taken from the same metalwork as the original singles, which don't have a problem with surface noise at all on my copies. It's even odder because some of the discs (Shiver in particular, even the 33rpm side) sound really good here. Discs 14 and 15 also have a bit of annoying fuzz throughout, side B of disc 15 being the worst. It's a bit inconsistent for what's otherwise a cool little box. Would be curious to know from anyone with the GZ pressing whether those discs are better!
