Coldplay — A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Limited edition clear EcoRecord vinyl

In support of their ongoing sustainability mission, the British rock band Coldplay have announced plans to reissue all of their albums as EcoRecords.

The new records will be clear, 140-gram discs made from recycled plastic bottles, and produced using an injection molding process which reduces carbon emissions during manufacture by 85% when measured against the traditional vinyl record production process.

According to Warner Music Group, each record contains plastic recovered from about nine recycled rPET plastic bottles as part of the post-consumer recycling, where the bottles are cleaned and processed into small pellets for resuse in industry and consumer purposes.

The decision to re-release the band's full catalog follows the launch of their 10th album, Moon Music, in 2024 as a 100% recycled PET EcoRecord.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Coldplay's second studio album, released in August 2002, topped the U.K. Albums Chart upon its first week of release in the U.K.. BPI certified the album 10x platinum-selling for accumulated sales of 3 million units in the U.K., while more than 17 million copies have sold worldwide. The album also received three Grammy Awards — Best Alternative Album, Best Rock Performance for "In My Place," and Record of the Year for "Clocks." The album spawned the hit singles "In My Place," "The Scientist" and "Clocks."

"We are incredibly proud to partner with artists such as Coldplay who share our commitment to a more sustainable future for music. The shift to EcoRecord LP for their releases is a testament to what's possible when innovation meets intention. It's not just about a new product; it's about pioneering manufacturing that significantly reduces environmental impact, providing fans with the same high-quality audio experience while setting a new standard for physical music production," stated Jen Ivory, Managing Director, Parlophone.
