Does anyone actually have the MDH soundtrack digitally that they could share? I can't find it anywhere and my physical copy is somewhere in my parents attic hundreds of miles away

That sort of thing is done on reissues all the time. U2 themselves did it with the 1996 version of "Tomorrow," which only had Bono and Adam, and the awful Sun City version of "Silver and Gold" and the "Can't Help Falling in Love" remix, which only involved Bono. If I suggest it on the internet, everyone will tell me what a dumb idea it is, but if U2 just did it, no one would think twice about a couple of Bono/Larry/Lanois tracks and it'd nicely pad out a rather sad set (and give those songs a much more listenable album home, similar to what the 80s B-side disc did for a lot of songs). Or not, I'm not buying this anyway.

Sort of similar to this is the album Brian Eno announced today, Film Music 1976-2020.
It features Beach Sequence from Original Soundtracks 1, but I have yet to see any coverage or press release that mentions U2 or Passengers at all. Bri-Bri was probably just like, "It's close enough to being me for it to just be me... include it!"

So they can’t ever play “Walk On” again, right?

Was hoping the B-Sides disc was Disc 2 in the 2 CD/vinyl. Then I may have purchased it.
Maybe when it's on sale. It's currently priced more than the 8 Disc Elton John Jewel Box and Prince Sign O The Times.

Yep.
And don't forget that I've Got You Under My Skin was actually released as a double A-side CD single with Stay in 1993, accompanied by ZooTV live tracks and a Lemon remix, an even more bizarre combo. The front cover credited "U2" in one corner and "Frank Sinatra and Bono" in the opposite corner.
They also include Miss Sarajevo on every Best Of.
I believe Mission Impossible was in the Complete U2 (but I could be wrong here).

aaaand Slow Dancing. I remember buying the CD single for $6 (I think) a Wal-Mart in late 93 or early 94 and thinking how awesome it was that the single had 6 songs on it. The live version of Bullet on the single was/is phenomenal.

Short-arse even has fucking platform soles on his old man sandals? Before his 40th birthday he’s wearing THOSE?
They are big enough for disco Stu’s goldfish.

Clearly some short-man syndrome going on there.
Those unboxing videos do look good, they've nailed the design of it all, just a shame about the content.

I’m really impressed with the design, and interested in Anton’s book. In another life, I would have ordered this set without question, but these days aesthetics aren’t enough for me.

Remastered Levitate and Stateless are out today.
Sound is definitely an improvement. Not earth shatteringly different, but certainly more space and clarity, and a more natural sound to the bass.

Where do you see them? I can't find them on Spotify

They probably scooped out the mids a bit.

It’s certainly an improvement - quite full and vibrant, but a feeling of space. All 2000s U2 was a bit muddy and messy, so it is a welcome change.
Ahhhh... well that makes sense

Levitate and Stateless sound better. Wonder if they'll preview another track before the release.

I’ve always really liked Stateless. Great to have a version that sounds this good.
I’d love a Never Let Me Go remaster

At what point with "modern" releases do we determine a remaster is not going to be beneficial enough to warrant it?
I would have thought U2 material from 2000 onward couldn't be improved. Unless there's an effort to neutralize the loudness war thing.

There’s loudness, style (2000s being notorious for soupy sounds to achieve a sense of “fullness”), and the fact that mastering can be very expensive and laborious and slow down a release. NLOTH was released after Boy, October, War and JT remasters but is clearly inferior.
