There was three years between The Joshua Tree and Achtung, Baby so (exactly 3 years since my original post) it's now time for a 20-th Anniversary Edition of Achtung Baby. Five even, and they're going completely overboard. Some details (from Musictap):
Quote: | The Uber Deluxe Edition:
A limited, numbered Uber Deluxe Edition is a magnetic puzzle tiled box which will contain: 6 CDs including the original Achtung Baby album, the follow-up album, Zooropa, B-sides and re-workings of previously unheard material recorded during the Achtung Baby sessions. 4 DVDs including ‘From The Sky Down’, ‘Zoo TV:Live From Sydney’, all the videos from Achtung Baby plus bonus material. There will also be 5 clear 7″ vinyl singles in their original sleeves, 16 art prints taken from the original album sleeve, an 84-page hardback book, a copy of Propaganda magazine, 4 badges, a sticker sheet, and a pair of Bono’s trademark ‘The Fly’ sunglasses.
The Super Deluxe Edition:
The Super Deluxe Edition will contain the 6CDs and 4 DVDs, in addition to a 92 page hardback book and 16 art prints in a wallet.
The Deluxe Edition:
2CD set containing the reissue of the original album plus B-sides and rarities.
Standard single CD reissue:
The original album remastered.
In addition, there will be a Vinyl Box set:
a limited release containing 4 LPs, two of which are pressed on translucent blue vinyl containing remixes and B-sides. The box includes a 16 page booklet.
There will be Digital versions provided as well. |
Can you believe it? Six CDs and four DVDs but no SACD. Incredible. As if SACDs from a band like U2 wouldn't sell hundreds of thousands. |
