Chris Martin’s Coldplay to re-release NINE of their previous albums including Parachutes

Since 2000, Coldplay, which includes Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland, has released ten albums, including Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and Mylo Xyloto.

Coldplay are to reissue nine of their previous albums on clear records made from recycled plastic bottles.

The EcoRecords are claimed to reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by 85% compared with traditional vinyl production. Chris Martin’s band have 10 albums to their name since their formation in the late 1990s, including debut album Parachutes which topped the charts in 2000.

We are incredibly proud to work with artists like Coldplay, who share our commitment to a more sustainable future for music, according to Jen Ivory, managing director of the band’s label Parlophone. What can be achieved when innovation meets intention is the use of EcoRecord LP for their releases.

It’s not just about a new product; it’s about pioneering manufacturing that significantly reduces environmental impact, giving fans the same high-quality audio experience as physical music production, and setting a new standard for production.

After being cleaned, processed into small pellets, and then moulded into records, each 140g LP is made up of roughly nine recycled bottles.

Coldplay will re-release debut album Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood To The Head (2002), X&amp, Y (2005), Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full Of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music Of The Spheres (2021) in the series.

The band’s most recent album, Moon Music, was released last year on an EcoRecord LP. It comes after Coldplay claimed to have overstated their goal to stop the world from warming up in their show.

The group claimed that their first two years of Music Of the Spheres Tour had CO2 emissions that were 59% lower than their stadium tour of 2016 and that this had already fallen short of the group’s initial 50% goal in 2024.

The group used rechargeable batteries fuelled by renewable sources for the shows along with other efforts. Coldplay have long campaigned for climate action, with frontman Chris Martin saying in 2019 they would not launch a globe-trotting tour for their album Everyday Life due to environmental concerns.
