Picked this up on Saturday.
All in all, not that great.
Here are some things I noticed while going through it:
While there are a few never before seen images, there's very little in the way of new information. Everything in there, we've either read elsewhere or is taken directly from making ofs and documentaries (like Making of Joshua Tree and the POP special)
I did notice something interesting, however. There's a page advertising back issues of NME Originals. Now, I picked up the NME Originals Presents U2 when it first came out and it was, in my opinion, crap. Basically every article consisted of attacking U2 over the years and saying how crap they were and how crap the albums were and blah blah blah...and blah. We get it - NME loves to hate U2.
So I think that the Uncut Special is supposed to be the opposite side of that coin since they're both obviously owned by the same company or are, in fact, the same company.
Anyways, it's good for pics, but not a lot of new info. Buy it if you're a collector, otherwise, save your $$$ for the album which should be out in October...or November...or tomorrow...
