Amazon.com Exclusive Deluxe Box Set...

Anyone seen this already? Kind of interesting -- I wonder if the fourth unincluded album is Under a Blood Red Sky?

Amazon.com: U2 Deluxe Edition Box Set [Amazon.com Exclusive]: U2: Music
This limited edition collectible U2 Deluxe Edition boxset is handsomely constructed in a sturdy hardbound shell, measuring 5 3/4" (width) x 2 3/4" (spine width) x 5 7/16" (tall) and comes with the newly remastered and expanded 2 CD deluxe editions of the bands first three albums BOY, OCTOBER and WAR, plus room for a fourth (not included). Re-mastered from the original audio tapes, each deluxe includes a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and the packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics.

This set also comes with a limited edition, exclusive 18'x24' full color replica poster from the bands beginnings, recreated just for this boxset.

Isn't there already a thread on this in EYKIW?

There was a general thread on the new releases, but I didn't see anything about the Amazon.com exclusive box set.

I think it's kind of buried in another thread come to think of and I can't remember where.

Damn Amazon.

I saw this in an email from @u2.com and assumed it was already here. Seem's like I've seen it here, Dana. Can't be certain.
I read emails and threads in between calls at work so I'm confused alot.

I think I'm going to end up buying this since I'd like to have all of the remasters in their deluxe editions. Plus, I signed up for Amazon's Visa card, and haven't used the $30 credit yet. This might be a good time to do so...a box set for $30 is very tempting.

 

[Zooropean103]

I don't see this being available on amazon.co.uk

 

[Popmartijn]

I pre-ordered this one. Even with the shipping costs to the Netherlands it's way cheaper than buying over here. Hello cheap dollar!

 

[Popmartijn]

I don't see this being available on amazon.co.uk

It isn't. Only on Amazon.com.

Thanks. I hadn't seen this. I cancelled my preorders for the individuals sets and preordered this one.

 

[Utoo]

It's a great deal if you're planning to get all three. Now the question is....do I want all three?

 

[u2search]

Damn Amazon.

Why Damn? I don't understand... It's excellent! 3 for the price of 2, more or less. It's probably even cheaper to have it send over to Europe than to buy it here.

 

[kennerado]

Amazon suck with anything less than express courier for shipping. Yeah, I also ordered it but chose the most expensive shipping.

 

[morgan1098]

There's a longer discussion of this box set in the Everything You Know Is Wrong forum under the "Red Rocks details...?" thread. FYI.

I never had any problem with their shipping. Not for books nor for CDs.

Neither have I. Actually, almost everything I've ordered has shown up before the "expected" delivery date.

 

[Rachel D.]

I already preordered it. It really is a good deal.

Apologies if this has already been answered,

but what's the difference between the Deluxe Editions of the re-masters and the Limited Collectors Editions that are being released in HMV (UK)?

 

[Popmartijn]

You haven't provided any links, so I don't know for sure. But I think that with the so-called 'Limited Collectors Edition' you mean this one: hmv.com: albums: Boy: Deluxe Edition: Includes T Shirt: Hmv Exclusive (2008)
If so, the difference is a T-shirt. And a huge price difference.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Wow, I can't believe how anxious I am for these to drop next week. I figured I'd get them and just throw them in my collection, but I'm actually looking forward to sitting down with each of them and playing them through. Both discs, warts and all...

 

[ultraviolet92]

What day are they hitting the shelves?????

and to answer your question Ellay the limited edition is either the t-shirt on HMV and on amazong there selling all of them in a box set with posters

 

[digsy]

alll out on the 21st (at least in the UK they are, not certain about elsewhere)
i did some rather scary calculations the other day about the costs of the re-releases:

CD 3 x £10 = £30
deluxe 3 x £21 = £63
vinyl 3 x £16 = £48
hmv tshirt packs 3 x £36 = £108
amazon box set 1 x $65 = £35

GRAND TOTAL: £284

I can't even begin to justify that to myself! That's one hell of a pay day for U2!
