- Check image number 7 showing the spine of the outer sleeve
- Different fonts are used on the spine
- Digits should be smaller than letters
- More space "between" digits and letters, and also more space in "space between" digits
- Sharper text (since not scanned and reprinted)

I can't find my version .. Please someone can help me ? 2000 Argentina 190295182502 Black Vinyl
-
Wondering if anyone has this pressing and later pressing (UK/EU or US) that can share the sonic differences in of pressing, dynamics/compression, clarity, etc. Much appreciated. -
Discogs sellers can’t seem to get this one right. 0/2, one copy scratched to hell that was “mint”, one copy was not as d and was a later repress. Both shipped in the cruddy cardboard sleeve. Shame I can’t properly review this pressing, but I’m done chasing it stateside.

Edited 2 years agoI think I have this version (2000-press) and I have this one:
https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/release/24139385-Coldplay-Parachutes
Some difference I noticed (except the ones mentioned) is that the 2000 is about 25grams lighter and the edge of the vinyl is more blunt, almost the same feeling as an old 78rpm.
-
Any jokers on here claiming they have a sealed mint are either idiots or thieves. It is quite difficult to a first press for the record, believe me. Pretty much the only way is to look at the records of a small indentation of the inner label. Thats literally it.
and even if it is open, most people don't know the difference between a repress and a 1st.
So if you're truly on the hunt for a first, ask for pictures before buying!!! -
In the notes it states this copy was never sold shrink wrapped, but I bought my copy in 2001 and it came wrapped with a small yellow sticker stating “imported by EMI Music Canada SIS”. -

The 🐐 of Coldplay albums. Found a Barnes & Noble in Boston that had one copy left and it was playing in my home in Brooklyn a couple days later. Such a great album and sounds terrific!
