Achtung Baby/ Zooropa remaster/ reissue - Part III/ three

[Danny Boy]

Does anyone know if Q subscribers in the US get these cover CDs?

I have a subscription and I got a Foo Fighters CD as my signup gift, but I haven't received any CDs since.

Got to a respected book store and ask at the front counter. Many times over here someone steals them before they hit the shelves.

Sweet! Christmas comes early for me! I mentioned a preorder of the Super Deluxe edition of AB to my Mom today and she told me she'd already ordered it. Sweet!!!!

U2
Achtung Baby [20th anniversary edition]
ISLAND 94%
Achtung Baby is the last great U2 album
and one of the best records ever made, but
is this $150 six-CD, four-DVD 20th anniversary edition
worth your time and money? Short answer: Fuck yeah. The
Kindergarten disc offers up an alternative version of the
album—including a searing seven-minute take on “Love Is
Blindness”—while the B-sides and Other Stuff disc boasts
more than half a dozen unreleased songs, such as a smoky,
bluesy cover of Linda Ronstadt’s “Everybody Loves A
Winner.” There are also more than 20 rare remixes here, so
you can party like it’s 1991 all over again. NEVIN MARTELL

^ great review

The thought of a 7 minute Love is Blindness is making me weak in the knees.

"The Thing" has now been posted in the proper FTSD thread

It was way too spoilery here, I was bad!

Was just so excited to post it

This is the song that U2 cover on the re-issued AB, according to the Filter magazine review (there's also a great Lisa Rondstat version):

It's a funny choice for U2 to cover this song at that time (in Rattle and Hum it would have been more logical). However, given that the topic was fame and that was one of the band's worries at the time, it makes sense.

William Bell also wrote "You don't miss your water", which the band are shown singing with Eno and Lanois in one of the NLOTH videos. Lanois and Eno have also recorded the song. Interesting stuff...

I've still got 2 Uber sets for sale. They are only £245 each as I pre-ordered and got a massive discount.

I'm selling them here:
