Achtung Baby/Zooropa remasters CONFIRMED for Fall 2011 by Rolling Stone

Achtung baby/Zooropa remasters: tracklistings yet?

OK, it's almost August and there is still no 'unofficial '/official news about the tracklisting of AB/Zooropa. Does anybody know when we first heard the first news about the tracklistings from TUF/JT remasters?
If they plan the remasters to be released in early november, then we should get some news very soon, or am I wrong?

I don't want to hear the f**ing delay/cancellation word, please.

Achtung baby / Zooropa remasters... IN CRISIS!

 

[corianderstem]

Does anyone remember how far in advance we had details about the Joshua Tree or Unforgettable Fire remaster extravaganzas?

 

[Utoo]

Nope.

Story is dated October 18, 2007 -- five weeks before release.

 

[theedgeu2]

Well we aren't quite close to November yet, which is when a lot of people presume the remasters will be released. I wouldn't panic about this yet. We'll probably get some news in late October/early November is my guess.

They're just being coy

OH dear..



I expect to hear something by the end of summer. After the tour ended, about a month or two before november..
Not that I care for the tracklisting, I'll buy the biggest possible boxset anyway. :Sheep:

 

[coolian2]

um. precisely what the fuck are we worrying about?

 

[Galeongirl]

That U2 are at the end of their days, they will stop releasing new(or remastered old nostalgia shite) material and will continue to tour small clubs with a greatest hits(again, nostalgia shite) setlist that consists of IALWx22 and Stuckx2 until Bono can't walk anymore.

ah.


shit.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, we're pretty fucked.. time to find a cliff and throw myself in the sea.

 

[Rachel D.]

It's not coming out after all, because SOA is coming out instead.

I was told end of September release date by a person in the radio community

Now that's A LOT closer! I kinda hope that's right, I just need to come up with a holiday excuse for someone to get it for me.

 

[nirniva]

um. precisely what the fuck are we worrying about?

Everything. This is a band in crisis we're talking about.

 

[Explorer10]

I'd love to get my hands on this "box set".

 

[kenny_a]

You'll see when they release it, it's going to be the coolest thing ever made.
Trust me, everybody wants to have one!

 

[Burlington77]

OMG!!

I cannot wait! Achtung Baby means so much to me than anyone will ever know!

 

[Galeongirl]

In case U2's people are still scouting this forum as they have done in the setlist parts, guys, inflatable trabants with the superdeluxe boxset pretty please? Make it happen!

Seconded.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

sure hope this release contains lots of hits!

 

[gvox]

I just hope they fix Edge's guitar placement in the mix on AB. Needs to be out front more like it is live imo.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, definitely!

And I wouldn't mind if there was some sort of fixing of UTEOTW's ending, to make it more like the live ending. Or would that be too much neutering?

too much, just clean up the originals - I don't want another bunch of "Pop" remixes...

 

[blugel]

hoping for an official announcement of this any day now...

(maybe they're waiting until the tour ends)

 

[gvox]

Yeah, definitely!

And I wouldn't mind if there was some sort of fixing of UTEOTW's ending, to make it more like the live ending. Or would that be too much neutering?

Nah I don't want the arrangements touched, I just think the mix could be alot cleaner with some subtle nudging of The Edge...even Bono's vocals, in a couple places.

 

[dan_smee]

Won't be an annoucement for a month or so. Surely it is being released close to the anniversary, and other releases were only announced a month or so in advance (well, details only a month or so before, and thats all that really matters)

 

[bono_man2002]

It'll be out November. Just in time to fill all our stockings (a little bit early )

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, usual announcement will be 5 weeks in advance, so start rubbing your hands together early september.
