Coldplay - Ghost Stories

Coldplay — Ghost Stories

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.

Ghost Stories, Coldplay's sixth album, released in May 2014, features guest producers Avicii, Timbaland and Madeon, and the band's frequent collaborator Jon Hopkins. The album was promoted by five singles: "Magic," the lead single, released in March; "Midnight," released in April as a promotional single for Record Store Day; "A Sky Full of Stars," released in May; "True Love," released in August; and "Ink", released in October. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Grammy Awards and named Top Rock Album at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

"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.
