Safety (EP)

Safety is the first EP and public release by the British rock band Coldplay. It was recorded over a weekend during May 1998 and intended to be a demo for record companies. Phil Harvey, the band's manager, financed the project for around £1500 and only about fifty copies made it to stores, as they gave most of them away to labels, friends and families.[2]
