Coldplay has boxed up all 14 of its singles for the aptly named collection “The Singles 1999-2006,” due March 26 in the United Kingdom via Parlophone.
The package of 7-inch vinyl singles eventually will be available in the United States via Capitol, according to a spokesperson.
Five of the singles are making their vinyl debut in this box: 1999’s “The Blue Room” EP (here split into two singles), “Don’t Panic,” “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face,” “What If” and “The Hardest Part.” “The Singles” will not be released on CD, according to the band’s Web site (http://www.coldplay.com).
