Thanks to UK newspaper the Times, this Sunday Britons can pick up a free copy of an album featuring Coldplay€™s stunning live performance at this year€™s iTunes Festival, including some of the band's most recognisable tracks, as well as some previously unreleased tracks. The free download will feature the following tracks, which Coldplay - currently cementing their position as the UK's most popular band - recorded at the Roundhouse in Camden on 22nd July, and will offer the perfect tease for their upcoming October release of new album Mylo Xyloto: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Viva La Vida Clocks Fix You Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall That iTunes performance was effortlessly brilliant - as ever with Coldplay - and the opportunity to pick it up on CD for free should not be missed. Though of course the small print would have to say that access to the newspaper's website actually costs £1 for the first 30 days then £2 for every subsequent week - but it still works out as a pittance of an amount for seven outstanding live tracks. It's easy to forget just how iconic Coldplay's discography is, and how every studio album so far, including the upcomer, has featured at least one instant classic track. But as with the list above, it is in fact possible to pull together multiple Greatest Hits playlists with ten or twelve songs on each which would be more than worthy of that label. The paper are also promising an exclusive interview with the band online, in-paper and on their iPad app. Visit their site for further updates. Coldplay's new album Mylo Xyloto will be released on October 24th. Pre-order it now on iTunes and pick up brand new single Paradise as well.
