The final track ("Til Kingdom Come") is a hidden track, not listed in the back cover tracklist, and listed just as "+" in booklet and disc label tracklists.

The image on the front cover is a colourful representation of a message encoded in the Baudot code, invented at the end of the 19th century for use in telegraphy and punched-tape teleprinters. It's supposed to read "X&Y" but due to an error it actually says "X9Y"! (The five columns can be read as binary numbers: 10111 is X, 11011 is shift, 00011 is 9 and 10101 is Y.)

    Have this version in my collection a while now. Just got around to playing it now!! . I have to say it's a fantastic sounding record so clear . This is the way all records should sound its perfect. Grab a copy if you get the chance....

      Coldplay - X&Y - "Copy Protected" could not even play this cd in a regular cd players (Marantz CD6006, Onkyo C-7030) On every track some clicks, some skipping going on. I love Coldplay but this release is just waste of money. Very disappointed.
