Chris Martin is in the band Coldplay. He wrote a song for a James Bond film. The film came out in 1999. Its name is The World Is Not Enough. Chris recorded the song on a cassette tape. The tape was never released. A man named Chris Allison has the tape. He worked with Coldplay early in their career. He is selling the tape at an auction now.
Allison is selling more than just the Bond demo. He has an archive of early Coldplay material. This includes master tapes from The Blue Room. The Blue Room is the band's second EP. It came out in October 1999. It was their first release for Parlophone. Parlophone is a record label. Coldplay signed with Parlophone in April 1999. The archive also has different versions of songs. These songs later appeared on their first album Parachutes. The songs are Spies, We Never Change, and Shiver.
Coldplay loves the Bond films. They have said this many times. The band once said their song Spies was like a song by John Barry. John Barry wrote music for many Bond films. The 1999 Bond film had a different title song. Garbage performed it. Pierce Brosnan played James Bond in that film. Allison's auction also has material from other bands. These bands are the Beta Band and King Biscuit Time.
