The cover for Coldplay's X&Y

British rockers Coldplay's highly anticipated third album is to be packaged with a front cover featuring colour-coded blocks which combine to reveal a secret code.

Bosses at record company PARLOPHONE hope the intrigue surrounding the "X&Y" disc's artwork will pique the interest of fans the world over as they try to find the hidden meaning concealed the eye-catching design.

The global marketing campaign will begin later this month (APR05) in anticipation of the album's release on 6 June (05) - Parlophone executives anticipate "X&Y" will sell more copies than the 10 million units "A Rush of Blood to the Head" sold worldwide.

You can pre-order the album via Amazon and Amazon UK.
