Safety (EP)

Safety is the first extended play and public release by British rock band Coldplay. It was recorded at Tottenham's Sync City Studios with Nikki Rosetti between 1 and 2 February 1998, following their debut live performance at The Laurel Tree. Phil Harvey financed the sessions for £1500 and received a box with 500 copies on 19 May 1998. Most of them were given away to record labels, friends and family, but around 150 are known have been on open market.

According to Harvey, his father and an Oxford roommate were the ones to help him fund Safety. The latter originally bought a copy of it for around £3. On 25 May 1998, the band managed to sell 50 units of the extended play to their public at Dingwalls. All three of the songs appeared unaltered on subsequent Coldplay releases: "Bigger Stronger" and "Such a Rush" were featured on The Blue Room, while "No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground" was used as a B-side for their breakthrough hit "Yellow".
