'''''Safety''''' was the first public release by [[England|English]] band [[Coldplay]]. It was recorded over a weekend during May 1998, and was intended as a [[demo (music)|demo]] for record companies. It was financed by the band and their manager Phil Harvey for around £200.
Everyone involved was so pleased with the finished product that they decided to pay for 500 copies to be manufactured for distribution around London, however only 50 copies ever made it to record stores, as they gave most of the copies away to record companies and their friends and families.<ref name="cp">[http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=235&page=1 Origin And Early Years (September 1996 – October 1999)] coldplaying.com</ref> The EP is such a rarity that it is known to fetch in excess of £2000 on [[eBay]]{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
The cover photo of lead singer [[Chris Martin]] was taken by John Hilton, a friend of the band.
