All Remastered - Limited Editions Discussion HERE

[DoctorMacPhisto]

dude there's still several record stores in my area

 

[Pop Artist]

Got an e-mail saying that my Amazon order of the box set has shipped, says estimated delivery date is July 31, although I think it could be here tomorrow or Wednesday since it shipped from Jersey City, NJ, I'm (my office) just across the river.

 

[morgan1098]

Amazon has changed the status to "preparing your order for shipping".

Wow! I live in the US and I placed my order on 8 July and they still haven't started "preparing my order for shipping." Dang.

 

[kennerado]

Yep mine was sent as well, yay!

 

[corianderstem]

Ditto that. I elected 2-day shipping, so I'm guessing it should be here a full day earlier than the expected 7/31. Whoot.

 

[onebloodonelife]

Squee! Mine shipped today, and it's arriving tomorrow! I got the one day shipping for like $3.99 cause I'm an Amazon Prime member.

 

[kingofsorrow]

ok. i know it may have been covered, but 21 pages is too much. anyone know why there is a lack of live stuff on the war remaster? wait could it be since UABRS is being remastered also?

Amazon is out of stock. I had just finished saving up enough money, and when I went to order, it tells me they're out of stock!

My JT remaster box set with the upside-down and backwards tree on the book will be prized forever. I've never heard of anyone else with the same misprint.

What's even cooler is that that very misprint proved (for the umpteenth time) how incredibly awesome the band and their associates are. "Word" got out that my copy was misprinted, and a VERY lovely person close to the remaster worked some magic with PM and got me a new, promo copy as an "oops." So very kind!

 

[Hallucination]

The bonus material on the Boy and October rerelease is cool. the stuff on War is a joke. 47 different remixes of New year's Day. 19 remixes of Two Hearts......

 

[impy13]

Waterloo?

Yes, Waterloo. Cheapo is garbage.

I saw that . I hope they honor all pre-orders . Mine is saying it will ship Aug. 4 .

Mine came at 6:30 this evening, and it sounds amazing! You'll be thrilled with it.

 

[Yahweh]

Any hardcore U2 fan that doesnt have these remasters is really missing out on how these CDs should really sound. October especially sounds way better, but they are all a massive improvement. They should get this guy to remaster the new U2 album before they put it out

Update ! Amazon is now posting ...Temporarily out of stock. on the box set .

If its sent by UPS, it will be going to Sydney then BACK down here to Victoria.

Yes it sucks, but that's how they work. The distro centre must be in Sydney.

 

[Popmartijn]

Well, it IS the same guy as the one who did the last U2 albums. That said, I've heard (as I don't have the remasters yet) that the remasters have been mastered better than HTDAAB. So there's hope yet for the new album.

 

[Bonochick]

Got my box set from Amazon today!!! Looks beautiful! Can't wait to listen.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I bought all three the day they came out and I haven't opened them yet. +phail+

 

[Bonochick]

[Popmartijn]

Wow, Amazon really sticks with that price guarantee for pre-orders:

Yeah, I got it too.
I hadn't even noticed they dropped the price with $0.02.

Just my $0.02.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I think this poster is the same one they intended to release with a limited edition of U2 by U2 that never happened. Mine's in the mail!

 

[Utoo]

They should get this guy to remaster the new U2 album before they put it out

It's not a guy, at least not the main person (aside from Edge...if he worked on this one, I'm not sure).

I haven't picked these up yet, but I'm looking forward to it when I do!

 

[Popmartijn]

It's not a guy, at least not the main person

Not?

Apart from the name Arnie Acosta being very male sounding, he also looks like a guy to me.
