Q. Dear Oracle,

I'm about to spend all my savings on old Coldplay releases like Blue Room EP, Safety EP, and so on...

I'm going to be broke, but happy.

Should I really do this?

In your shoes I would just buy The Blue Room E.P. It shouldn't be anywhere near as expensive as the Safety E.P (going for £1000 plus). It features 2 of the exact recordings from Safety too. It is very hard to find a bona fide original copy of Safety so do be careful as you may be buying a fake. Other singles are fairly easy to find or you may get a good deal on the singles box set; they're vinyl only though.
