[edit] Background
The version of "Don't Panic" featured on this release is different to the one that appears on the band's later debut LP, Parachutes. The fourth track, "High Speed", would also appear on Parachutes in the same form as it appears here. The EP also features two songs culled from their earlier Safety EP: "Bigger Stronger" and "Such a Rush" (in edited form[1]).
"See You Soon" would later become a regular part of Coldplay's setlist during their "A Rush of Blood to the Head Tour" and was featured in both the DVD and CD of Coldplay's Live 2003 compilation.
Only 5000 copies of the CD version were manufactured in the original pressing, along with a limited edition 12 inch vinyl release which was individually numbered on the front picture sleeve. After a 2001 re-issue of the CD version, the EP became available in greater quantities.
The artwork for the album was taken from a National Geographic Magazine issue in 1997.[2]
