I think we all made that assumption. I tweeted to U2.com's account, though I've never actually seen them respond to anything. So hope they will this time.

Here's the list i came up with of recordings not included on the Super and Uber Deluxe editions. I excluded anything that was promo only, like 3 Lemon remixes, and didn't count the Zoo TV Sydney fan club CD recordings. In some cases, some of the remixes are only shorter edits of other remixes, but I included them anyway. Also, some of these remixes appeared on later singles, like the Dirty Day remixes being released on the Please single. These remixes may have been done back in 1993 during the Achtung-Zooropa era or later on, but the U2 portion of the remixes dates to this era.

I will bet you a 25 iTunes card that it is remastered. OK. These guys are pros.

The album's gotta be re-mastered, it's the one album they had that really needed it, and to put it out back out there without it would be pretty shoddy.

I understand it, and I would assume they're remastered. But it's just so odd to me that nowhere is actually stated that it's a remastered version. Why would you not put that up when it's something that could help you sell even more?

Well done Hallup. However, they don't have to please every Internet dweeb with their releases. They are already kind enough to us arcane folks.

Dude. You actually have a point.
Damn. Not Universal, nor Amazon, nor U2.com actually uses the word remastered. Nowhere does it say the audio is remastered...

It's a slight waste to me if the audio's not remastered. And with all this, I assume it will be. I was looking forward to hearing the "remastered" albums.
Hope they clarify it.

They forgot, but believe me they are remasters. I also believe that Zooropa was put on there for extra material.
It will get it own release maybe in December or January, or maybe even on the same day.

Too much stuff left out of this box
They could add the best of these tracks on CDs (after all I'm pretty sure there's still room on those 3 CDs of rarities -not counting the 4th one, Baby AB) and the rest as Audio somewhere on the DVDs

Every reissue has been remastered, so why not this? 
You guys are freaking out too much.
You guys are freaking out too much.Very true. I already own all of these recordings on CD, vinyl, cassette in a couple of cases and the Numb VHS for that Numb Video Mix. I'd rather they had dropped some of the remixes they are giving us and got songs like Slow Dancing instead, though.
They are including the remix of Can't Help Falling In Love, which is not a U2 release. Even though it's on a U2 single, the packaging indicates that it is officially a Bono solo recording. If they are including solo recordings, they could include the original Can't Help recording from the Honeymoon In Vegas soundtrack, or they could include the Automatic Baby recording on One from 1/93 that's been on some compilations.

Wait a second. There is a doc called, From The Sky Down.
Does that mean the sky is falling?

It's not remastered. I have it on good authority they just stuck a microphone in front of Edge's boom box as it played his 1991 cassette copy. Which he dubbed from Adam.

I assume it is remastered as well, but it's just weird that in none of the wording it was included. And that is a key word that would not be easily left out...

Haven't they been banging on about the remastering? Hasn't it been happening in LA or something? There's no way this isn't remastered, surely.

Chill guys, original CD/album means the original songs from the actual album letting you know that. It's not b-sides or remixes or whatever. I'm pretty sure this is the remaster.

Still waiting for someone to bet me on the remaster wager.

The official description also fails to mention the discs aren't coated in a fast-acting neurotoxin. Kind of important information.

I'm fairly sure it will be a remastered CD, anything else wouldn't make sense. Most, if not all, re-issues include remastered CD. I don't think U2, Edge especially, would allow an album to be re-issued after 20 years without having it remastered. It hasn't even appeared to me that these may NOT be remastered albums until I came into this thread. Since there are many details lacking and there is still some time until this release becomes reality, I am sure they'll add more details.
I don't care about any of the remixes, but I'm excited about the unreleased stuff. And what the hell are those "baby" versions supposed to be? Love that there are "Uber" and "Unter" remixes.
However, if it turns out to be true that these albums are indeed NOT remastered, they better bring out this documentary on a separate DVD, because this will be the only thing I'll be purchasing in that case

I know that, and I know that it'll be very likely to be the remastered version. But what I'm wondering about is why it's not actually mentioned anywhere.

Now including the Zoo TV Sydney DVD really sucks. Oh U2

It would be nice, but they'll probably keep it up there along with the DVDs .
I wonder if the "baby" AB CD isn't so much demos or early versions but a full performance of the album by the band in studio ? We know they did The Fly and So cruel.
edit
It’s long been expected that the next installment in U2’s ongoing reissue campaign would be the band’s landmark 1991 album Achtung Baby, and today we received some confirmation — via indie rocker/producer John Vanderslice, of all people — that it’s in the works.
This afternoon, Vanderslice tweeted that he was at a Los Angeles studio with engineer Bernie Grundman, mastering his new album with the Magik*Magik Orchestra, before announcing, “They’re remastering Achtung Baby in next room!!” (Shortly afterward, he added, “Any suggestions for witty opening salvos to drop on U2 crew when I barge in on Achtung Baby remastering session?” Charles
It is a remaster.

I haven't read the whole thread, but here's my 3 cents:
1. £385? Nope, not buying that. Might end up buying the £105 version, but damnit that's still hugely expensive.
2. I've noticed it does not say it's remastered anywhere . Which is kinda odd...
I'm sure it's remastered, and that they've just screwed up on the announcement.
If it's not remastered i'm not buying it.
3. The Sydney DVD. Surely they've got tons of video material from that era laying around, but instead we're all buying the Sydney DVD again. Meh.

So if it's Sydney, From the sky down (surely a reference to the price of the UBER package) and "videos" (official videos for AB singles ? that VHS tape?), what do you all think is that mystery DVD 4 ?
Hopefully loaded with some live footage...

well, heaven and hell is on it so the answer is yes to one of your trax. oh, yeah, blow your house down is on it too. as far as the other titles, we will have to hear them first I guess to know if all of them are from the outtakes.
