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 live debut at The Laurel Tree in London. Phil Harvey funded the project for £1,500 and received a box with 500 copies on 19 May 1998. Most of them were given away to record label executives, friends and family, but around 150 were sold on the open market. According to Harvey, it was his father and an Oxford roommate that helped him finance Safety. The latter originally bought a copy of it for around £3.
