Safety is the first extended play and public release by British rock band Coldplay. It was recorded at Tottenham's Sync City Studios with Nikki Rosetti between 1 and 2 February 1998, following their live debut at The Laurel Tree in London.[2] Phil Harvey funded the project for £1,500 and received a box with 500 copies on 19 May 1998.[2] Most of them were given away to record label executives, friends and family,[3] but around 150 were sold on the open market.[2] According to Harvey, it was his father and an Oxford roommate that helped him finance Safety.[3] The latter originally bought a copy of it for around £3.[2]
