... except the real thing doesn't look like a 2 minute sketch done in MS Paint.
They're out of stock at the moment. eil.com has them and blokes T-shirts for £20. Hmm... a bit overpriced maybe...
Bluegrape has been seen to have a quite wide (about 6) selection of Coldplay T-shirts, but that section is inacessible at the moment, or gone.

Posters
Stickitonyourwall.com and Push Posters have this poster of a photo from inside the Parachutes booklet. With added 'Coldplay' and 'Parachutes' text.

HMV Online
Hmm... The Blue Room EP is a bit overpriced at £7.49. Could be used as a last resort though... Postage is extra. Solo card is accepted. Visit site.

CD Paradise
a.k.a. WH Smith online. You wouldn't expect this to have much but I got the Brothers & Sisters 7" off it for £2.47 :-) I don't think it sells it any more though. It claims to sell (apart from the easily got hold of Parachutes, Shiver, Yellow and Trouble) ; The Blue Room EP on CD and 12" and Brothers & Sisters on CD. I ordered those 3, both the CDs were cancelled from my order becasue they were "out of stock", but the 12" is still on order (hopefully I'll get that then). They havn't actually deleted the CDs from thier catalogue so if you try ordering them there's a chance they could get hold of them I suppose...
Postage is extra. They only accept proper credit/debit cards i.e. Visa, Mastercard and Switch.

Fierce Panda
The label that Coldplay released Brothers & Sisters on. They've still got a few copies of it left, for less than the online shops are charging. Website/e-mail.
