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

[Jim]

wow, that über deluxe one is insane. it sucks though that zooropa would be getting completely shafted. aside from the remastered album, there's nothing on there for the album.

Dont forget Zooropa was knocked out in a few months.. it was supposed to be an EP so I can't imagine there's much scope for bonus material.

The box set looks amazing, though they are missing Achtung Baby Condoms!!

I recently found a folder with prints of all the cover shots from the day AB came out in 1991.. I've also got that original propaganda.. old am i

 

[Jim]

And as for the live discs.. why on earth didn't the include Zoo TV Stockholm? that was pro shot for broadcast and considered by the band to be a great gig.. that 1st leg was an important chapter in the Zoo era that isn't available anywhere.

 

[ponkine]

But we don't know what the 4th DVD is...

1. Documentary
2. Sydney
3. Videos
4. ???

With 4 DVDs there would be plenty of space to include ALL 1990-1993 documentaries around, 2 previously unreleased concerts (1 from 1992 and 1 from 1993), new surround mixes, interviews, videos, etc. I bet all the material they're about to include can fit on just 2 DVDs


as I posted @ stevehoffman forum


1- no mention of the albums mixed in 5.1
2- no mention of previously unreleased concerts on DVD
3- no mention of all Zooropa videos
4- no mention of Zooropa B-Sides
5- re-workings of AB material (like the crappy "new mixes" on "Best of" 1990-2000)
6- absolutely priced box

 

[wolbersu2]

First I was very very surprised. When I looked further I saw the mentioning of the Sydney dvd. I think the McGuinness man or whoever who did put this release together doesn't know a thing about the fans. The fans, at least the hardcore fans are all having this release for ages, so this an absolute ridiculous item.
So I think it's about 200 percent certain the cd's will contain The propaganda Melon disc. So we're gonna pay a lot of money for a nice documentary and 3 or 4 'new' tracks. .....
As a fan I can collect about 75 percent of the uberdeluxe version. I've got the glasses, the badges, the propaganda, the meloncd, the sydney cd.
But.... we'll wait... Maybe they surprise with the cd's ..... and the bonus dvd material.....

*looks longingly at TUF super-deluxe box*

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

The Sydney DVD should be bluray.

 

[zoocarolina]

Why can't we have a concert like the one in Yankee stadium or stockholm, we already have Sydney wankers and 600+ dollars really, I could go 200 at most, c'mon!!!! Hopefully some actual finished unreleased tracks! So at this rate when u2 retires and we get the ultimate box set, what is that going to cost, a 1000+, I paid 500 for my first car for god sakes!

 

[Registered Dude]

lets wait and see the confirmed tracklisting of all cds and dvds before complaining, shall we?

 

[Jim]

^ true..

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I would bet that with Zooropa, a split off version with a nice little second disc of extra stuff (and I agree - there's probably not that much of it) will come out in about, oh... 18 months?

I would think that the documentary + possibly/probably the vinyl will also be available on their own pretty quickly, other side of Christmas.

So then I'll have to buy that as well?! Sweet fancy moses...

I trust you, but that "limited" bit on the vinyl set will surely make me buy it

 

[patternshirt170]

all the videos from Achtung Baby plus bonus material.

It'd be good to get the old VHS Interference video on DVD and perhaps even the [UK] Channel 4 ZOO TV special which aired at the end of 1992, where the band only appeared at the end of the show sitting at the back of a TV show... maybe a CD of ZOO Radio show that Radio 1 broadcast?

You are asking a lot of some people.

I know the interference portions are incuded as an easter egg on the Sydney DVD...

 

[Jim]

WOuld I be right in saying that when the JT remaster came out, we didn't know about the Paris DVD until closer to the release date? or am I talking sh*t.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

So then I'll have to buy that as well?! Sweet fancy moses...

No, you just think about it rationally.

Uber Deluxe...

- I can get all the footage and material with the Super, so do I still want it?

- The book is probably pretty cool, but also comes with the Super, so do I still want it?

- They'll definitely release the remastered Zooropa separately at some point, most likely with it's own extra material, so do I still want it?

- I'm not 13, so stickers and badges don't appeal, so do I still want it?

- I'll probably put the glasses on once, look in the mirror once, go 'ha!' and then put them in a drawer and never look at them again - and when on earth would you ever actually wear them - so do I still want it?

So basically it comes down to the vinyl component, and is that worth over £200 (whatever that is in US$ these days) to you?

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I trust you, but that "limited" bit on the vinyl set will surely make me buy it

Yeah, probably not the set, but if you're okay with just the album, I'd say that's pretty likely.

[Thora]

Oh wow!! No way in hell can I justify the expense of the Uber Deluxe version, even if it doesn't retail for as much as $600 in North America. Super version is still pricey, but much more reasonable.

 

[cobl04]

Any word in how much the vinyl set will cost?

actually there is, i could be forgetting a couple of titles but here is what it could look like I have gotten these titles from flanigans book and the book by that dj that was on the tour with them for zoo.

1. nose job
2. untidy life
3. if god would send his angels (zooropa vers.)
4. wake up dead man (zooropa vers.)
5. velvet dress (zooropa vers.)
6. last night on earth (zooropa vers.)
7. Indian Jam
8. Landscape
9. Sponge
10. Lose Control
11. Bright Lights, Big City
12. If I Should Ever Lose Control
13. Cry Baby
14. Wanderer (bono version)



these aren't all of them *from memory

but as you can see, another disk would be fairly easy

Adam's erotic Achtung Baby cover shoot.

That'll be a poster with a popout, like Edge on the Popmart dvd.

 

[digitize]

I'll probably go for super deluxe. That looks sane.

DVD

That 2nd remix cd looks pretty unknown to me. And the B-sides cd excites me. But what on earth is the "baby" thing?

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Whoops - beaten to it.

'Baby' Achtung Baby?

 

[hikerdeb]

The item I'm most interested in is the "From the Sky Down" documentary, which apparently you can't get with anything cheaper than the Super Deluxe edition. I will probably just go on Amazon and buy that DVD separately.

As for the DVD of all the "Achtung" videos, I just watched that compilation last week on my old VHS version, and frankly most of the videos from that era are not that good. I mean, how much do you really want to look at a buffalo running? There's another one that consists largely of shots of Bono sitting in a bar smoking. No creativity there.

 

[trojanchick99]

As much as I want Fly glasses, the uber-deluxe edition is a bit out of my price range unless it also comes with a Trabant and is hand delivered by Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry.
