"Talk, Pt. 1, an import from Holland on the Parlophone label, includes the first of three CD singles and a nice tri-fold digipak where you can put Talk, Pt. 2 and Talk, Pt. 3. As others have said, this is the first disc only. Getting the remaining discs depends largely on your desire to be a completionist, or for your interest in live tracks.



The breakdown of the three discs is as follows:



Part 1: (Amazon AISN B000CNGG9Y)

1. Talk (Radio Edit)

2. Swallowed in the Sea (Live in Holland)

3. God Put A Smile Upon You Face (Live in Holland)



Part 2: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGA8)

1. Talk (Album Version)

2. Square One (Live in Holland)

3. Clocks (Live in Holland)



Part 3: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGAI)

1. Talk (Live in Holland)

2. Til Kingdom Come (Live in Holland)

3. Fix You (Live in Holland)



Part 1 only warrants a three-star rating from me because it includes the Radio Edit of Talk. But the live tracks are good.



Part 2 goes up to four stars because it includes the album version of Talk, and an excellent live rendition of Square One from X&Y.



Part 3 also warrants four stars for the live tracks from X&Y, great performances all.



Note that these discs have WMA copy protection. If you would like to extract tracks for your MP3 player or iPod, you will need to use a Mac to do so.



By the way, parts 2 and 3 come in shrinkwrapped sleeves. This is one more reason to get part 1 and the nice tri-fold digipak."

Nevermind, I was wrong. Only #1 included.

"BTW, get the other version with Gravity. Chris Martin wrote it then gave it to his friend Danny McNamara of Embrace. Good song. Now we finally get to hear how Chris sings it."
