Surely not the front cover?

or Chris Martin (waiting for someone to do a silly picture in paint)

 

[powerhour24]

they should put jon bon jovi on the cover

Because that would make perfect sense? Haha

That is exactly what I am afraid of.We all own those songs on multiple best ofs, cds, and live dvds. This cd is definitely not for hard core fans. I guess thats why the Milan DVD is being thrown in.

hmm i see where you're coming from. I'm personally not bothered about the fact that I've got them on best-ofs already, i'm just worried they'll make the lamest choices given how much they have to choose from. But you're more than right, as 'the hardcore fans' we really don't have the need to complain since it's not aimed at their avid fans. Whatever's on it i'll buy because I'm a completist and there's that DVD

i think it's a massive shame the Milan DVD is being thrown away as a 'bonus' to a compilation, the stuff i've heard from it is incredible and I think it deserved a proper DVD release much more than the Chicago show because A) the quality of the music played and B) the European shows were much better.

The leaked cover of Coldplay's new album:

Did anyone catch that Extras episode with Chris Martin? Coldplay's Greatest Hits.

Don't rock stars have the money to buy clothes? Adam obviously didn't. It's alright apart from that jumper!!

Surely they could have dug up an iconic U2 picture like the did for the last two. They've already used it on the book, why not try a bit harder and get a diff pic?

 

[perrypickwick]

does anyone know when the picture from the cover was shot?

I think it must be 1983 or perhaps 1984 - or am I totally wrong. Is ist shot by Anton Corbin?

 

[Popmartijn]

As I said in the beginning of this thread:

I think the picture is from the (Pre)Boy period.
But I do hope Gloria is on it.

So the picture is from 1979/1980

 

[Nisse]

I would guess 80-81

Apparently the final cover...

Very clever of them to take a week to dig up the old Clarendon font from two years ago and putting in on the cover, They surely do what they are paid for at Four5One, eh?

2 years no...
3 years!

Clarendon was used on U2 Go Home DVD artwork...

oh, right!
I had forgotten that.

But still I think my statement is true in a way...

 

[Danny Boy]

I thought the addition of "SINGLES" in the Clarendon font looked too crappy to be true, but this graphic from U2.com seems to suggest this really is what they're going with...

 

[ntalwar]

From Amazon.Com - this says the cover visual is not definitive/final.

Will the starving africans be holding the album cover ?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]
