I thought about putting this in the "All I Want" section but I am not really wanting to scout to buy, but rather just find out if anyone has decided to collect U2 on vinyl recently, and if so, what do you have?
I lost all my old albums, and I only had up to UF anyways, so I decided the renewed JT craze meant it was time to get some LP vinyl records.
Now that I am getting my 80s collection re-established and have noticed that some 90s and 00s releases are really really expensive on vinyl.
Do we think they will re-release some of their AB through ATYCLB stuff on vinyl?
Good thread Anu!
My wife gave me a copy of ATYCLB for Xmas, which completed my collection of all of the albums. Some of the 90s and 00s are/were crazy expensive, but I was lucky that I bought a copy of HTDAAB when it came out (for about $20AU). Pop, Zooropa, and NLOTH were between $50 and $120US for decent copies, and ATYCLB is often close to $200US.
When I started collecting them in the early 2000s, I had original releases of all the 80s albums
but I shared the collection with my brother, who took the turntable when he moved out of home, so he took the records too. I re-bought the remasters when they were released.

I still don't have the best of 80-90 or 90-00 - both are crazy expensive.
Next I suppose is to collect the singles!
Re future re-releases - I really can't see them not doing it one day. I am surprised they haven't cashed in on the vinyl revival yet, but maybe they are waiting to remaster the 90s albums before they release?
