A great set but be warned - you may not be getting your money's worth.
As a huge Coldplay fan I'd been wanting this item ever since it was first released but back then I couldn't afford it. Now that I have a bit more income I thought now would be a great time to get one.
The set itself is GREAT. All of the singles and the Blue Room EP (which is one of my favourites). However the packaging was a problem.
While I knew that the box of the edition I purchased was going to be damaged I had no idea that the state of the actual singles included would be in.
Sadly they left something to be desired. Some of the vinyl looked damaged, and some of the sleeves were coming apart. The sleeves that weren't damaged were themselves scuffed. Thankfully the vinyl itself still sounded to be mint, but when you buy a product you tend to expect it to look like it is brand new, not a few years old. This of course could just be a problem with my set (which was cheaper than most) but if you're going to spend upward of $100 or more you would expect what you get to be in tip-top condition.
All in all a great set (and in my case for a reasonable price) but be warned - you may not be getting your money's worth.
