Where did "The Complete U2" on iTunes go?

[OrARoundabout]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

I went on iTunes just a few mins ago to purchase "Where Did It All Go Wrong?" from early A.B recording days AND IT WASN'T THERE! They've taken down "The Complete U2"!





BELIVE ME, I CHECKED!
I keep getting, "No longer avaliable". I even tried different links to the store online through Wikipedia.


Its not even avaliable in the U.K and Australia store!

What is going on, there was some stuff on there I still haven't downloaded yet..."Bass Trap", "Alex Desending Into Hell for a Bottle of Milk"


ROUGH CUTS, B-SIDES I HAVEN'T PUT ONTO MY IPOD YET!

Damn, I hope its just a technical problem...I hope they haven't taken it down permanently! (IT WAS ON THERE YESTERDAY!)

Well the "The Complete U2" is still there, it's just not complete.

Click on 'more results' bottom right hand corner.

But yeah, it's missing a lot. Under albums the only Pop song was SATS, they must be having technical issues.

 

[ramblin rose]

Yeah, I can't find it either.

I clicked "more results"...nothing...THE WHOLE THING IS MISSING. (And, yeah...I know its not "complete" per say)

No, I'm saying when I looked there they had the Complete U2, but it wasn't all there.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah.... it's gone. Sad.

 

[nathan1977]

Well, the band has released quite a bit since then, so technically "The Complete U2" is a misnomer now. Still though -- interesting, especially since the iTunes U2 page still talks it up even though it's no longer available. Maybe U2 is preparing for another big product launch in 2008 with the arrival of the new album? A new iPod? A new digital box set with more rare material?

 

[blm]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I may be getting an ipod for my bday or holiday and wanted to get that FINALLY -Please don't let it be true. At least thanks to the fine souls on these sites, there is a lot we can get. but still

 

[pacemaker]

Whew - I bought this less than a month ago... finally.

I'm glad I snatched it before it went away.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Universal didn't renew their annual contract?

"Instead, Universal said that it would market music to Apple at will, a move that could allow Universal to remove its songs from the iTunes service on short notice if the two sides do not agree on pricing or other terms in the future, these executives said."

That might be it...


ARGH

I'm so upset, I shouldn't have waited son freakin long

 

[OrARoundabout]

OKAY: Now its in the store, BUT CAN NOT BE PURCHASED IN THE U.S?

 

[the tourist]

This sucks as I was going to download official versions of various 80s b-sides as soon as I get iTunes cards for Christmas. I guess I'll just have to keep listening to the worse-quality-pirated versions.

 

[Danny Boy]

I was really hoping that iTunes would eventually offer The Complete U2 at a higher bitrate. I never imagined that they would delete it from the store altogether.

So, those rare b-sides are no longer "commercially available," yes?

Yeah--I'm not a fan of the 128 kbps standard on itunes. It really should be 320. At least that way people could burn it to a cd if they wanted it to take up less space on their precious iPod nanos.

I believe that currently the only way to get those b-sides besides finding pirated copies is to buy them previously used from sellers on places like ebay or amazon.

 

[Axver]

If they're no longer commercially available, does that mean that someone could provide links with, er, musical content?

I believe I read somewhere that it doesn't matter if it's commercially available or not--this site won't allow copyrighted material to be linked.

Ah yes, that's what a stickied thread in the new album forum says.

Yeah, I thought I read it around here recently. Oh well!

People can share e-mail addresses and use that for whatever purposes they desire.

 

[the tourist]

Very true. Someday I'm just gonna break down and try to find all those singles, though....

 

[ramblin rose]

Looks like the U2 video ipod is being sold again at the Apple store, and for the rock bottom price of $179 with free shipping.
