Where are the good places to go?

It depends what you want Sicy- seeing as though U2 havnt toured here in awhile you wont really find anything too different here, what I mean is that if you were to go into the conventional record/cd shops like HMV your Mum will only find the same cds, singles and videos that you could probably get in America anyway, but if she was to go into a second hand record shop or collectors shopshe would find some pretty cool things- the only bummer is that I dont know where any of these are in Sydney- I know of some good ones in Brisbane though

Anyway if you havnt got them already by some other means, maybe you could ask her to get you the two Walk On singles- one has a blue cover the other a red one- I bought them on Saturday and they are very good- apparently they are special Aussie releases and one of them has a video of 'Stuck' on it and it is a different clip to the one they released and one of the cds has a great live version of Gone

Cool, thanks Vanessa. I wouldnt mind getting the Walk On with the Stuck vid on it!

Yeah I didnt know if maybe you guys had different things we have or what not. I told her to find me posters cuz I dont usually find many posters around where I live.

2 places in Sydney, Red Eye Records which is smack in the middle of the city, and Utopia Records, also in the city, have loads of U2 stuff. Old/Rare/Import/Bootleg + memorabilia stuff. They have a website www.redeyerecords.com.au and you can check their stock. But yeah, for your standard Walk On singles or whatever, try HMV.
 
hey my dad is in berlin and i told him the same thing!

u should also check out the previous singles form the albums because we got extra tracks and things that America didn't.
As Tyler said, red eye is about the only place to go for U2ey stuff in Sydney.
Its in King St Sydney and has a big red eye on the window.

Except that the f***n' websites not working? Is this the correct address? It would be a shame if that site's gone. It was really good. The store's def. still there though. And like Manda said, check out the old weirdo singles we have, also for some reason HMV (Pitt St Mall) in the city often stock old singles, loads of Achtung Baby ones.

Red Eye like tyler said is prolly your best bet (if he can get the right web addy!). There is one place at Circular Quay, Im not sure of the name of it, but its right near the McDonalds, she'll be able to find it no worries if its still there. Its not a record store, but more like one of those movie type stores, but for some reason used to have odd U2 collectables and stuff. These sound like poor directions, but if its still open she'll find it. Also Pitt St. Mall. Good searching!

Hope she finds ya stuff

I guess she'll just have to settle for second best this time around.

Ok my mom cracks me up.

She found Red Eye Records and Utopia and she says they were out of Walk On.

So I told her to just grab any U2 singles she sees. LOL.

And is HMV a store or something? I told her to go there wherever it is. Hehehe.
