(4 out of 5 stars)
"Talk, Pt. 3, an import from Holland on the Parlophone label, includes the third of three CD singles featuring the title song. Talk, Pt. 1 includes the nice tri-fold digipak case with spaces left for the separately available parts 2 and 3. The three singles are supposedly only available for a limited time.
The breakdown of the three discs is as follows:
Part 1: (Amazon AISN B000CNGG9Y)
1. Talk (Radio Edit)
2. Swallowed in the Sea (Live in Holland)
3. God Put A Smile Upon You Face (Live in Holland)
Part 2: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGA8)
1. Talk (Album Version)
2. Square One (Live in Holland)
3. Clocks (Live in Holland)
Part 3 (this disc): (Amazon AISN B000CNGGAI)
1. Talk (Live in Holland)
2. Til Kingdom Come (Live in Holland)
3. Fix You (Live in Holland)
Part 1 only warrants a three-star rating from me because it includes the Radio Edit of Talk. But the live tracks are good.
Part 2 goes up to four stars because it includes the album version of Talk, and an excellent live rendition of Square One from X&Y.
Part 3 also warrants four stars for the live tracks from X&Y, great performances all.
Note that these discs have WMA copy protection. If you would like to extract tracks for your MP3 player or iPod, you will need to use a Mac to do so.
By the way, parts 2 and 3 come in shrinkwrapped sleeves. This is one more reason to get part 1 and the nice tri-fold digipak."
