It's been my experience that U2's CDs aren't mastered in the best quality; almost all of them, especially Joshua Tree and War (I think Zooropa and ATYCLB generally have the best mixes). This is a multi-part question.
First, has anyone had extensive experience with the LP versions of U2's albums? If so, what's the quality like compared to the CDs?
Second, I'm guessing that everyone will say that the MFSL Gold CD's are the best versions -- I'm working on getting the three of them. However, has anyone had a chance to compare the Unforgettable Fire Gold CD to the MFSL Half-Speed Master LP? I'm curious if analogue playback of the same mastering technique sounds any different.
Finally (sorry to be long-winded), I noticed that Amazon.com has listings for both Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree on SACD -- though neither of them are actually for sale. Does anyone know if this is because there's actually a plan to release them in this format?
Much thanks!
