This is almost perfectly how I see it after a similar number of listens. I also have Book of Your Heart in the top category. I’m puzzled by its omission from the album proper.

Early 1984 - UABRS Mid 1984 - Boy/October/War From TUF onwards - day of release I got UABRS video (Betamax!) for Christmas 1984 and collected all their past vinyl releases (singles, albums & 12”) during 84/85

Reckon U2.com forgot about these? "Physical delivery in September". Hmmm

So is there ANY hope of 1) Having a multi-track single release next week with TBT and b-sides such as outtakes/alternate cuts/live tracks from TJT30 2) Getting an EP with remixes of TBT including Kygo's version 3) SOE pre-order on iTunes with TBT and The Blackout as immediate downloads Ok, I...

Nah. Checked neighbours. UPS just rang back - they are adamant it was dropped at front door

My deluxe editions including vinyl set were "delivered" 2 hours ago according to UPS. They claim they left them at the front door. But I'm sitting 3 feet from the open front door and no ones been. Now what? [emoji22]

I love EPAA. The "backing track" is still U2! And compared to the over-production in recent releases, it showcases a nice raw side to the band. Promenade is awesome. It may be short but so is Desire and that's no interlude. MLK is a far better closer than Grace or Yahweh or Is That All or...

What's on your "obscure" U2 songs playlist? J.Swallow Treasure (WHTPTC) Elvis Presley & America Boomerang II Luminous Times Walk to the Water Deep in the Heart Sweet Fire of Love (with Robbie Robertson) Hawkmoon 269 Mofo (Romin Mix) Mercy (Original) The Troubles

The 2 copies I "secured" didn't arrive. One store got 0/4 copies they ordered, the other got 1/2 and I was the second. Red Eye got 5 copies but sold out very quickly. 4 other stores I approached either didn't get stock or didn't order it. I managed to finally get one in Richmond for $59.

Yeah I'm pissed they're gouging like that. I thought $40 would be fair

I've sourced 2 copies in Oz - $55 and $70!

It's now available in the Australian iTunes Store

Perhaps he's done what Eminem did with Dido on "Stan"; taken a lessor known previously released mainstream track and incorporated it into a new song - but more than merely a sample? For some reason I just can't see this being brand new U2 material. It would be pretty cool to have something...
