U2.com has just announced the new bonus gift for ordering or renewing a subscription. It is a double vinyl album of a rare, early U2 performance.
Well, that sounds great -- except that I suspect there a lot of fans (including me) who do not have the equipment to play a vinyl album and are not going to buy a turntable just to listen to this record. So we really have no incentive to renew (except for the chance to buy tickets the next time there's a tour). Why can't U2.com make this album available in an alternative format for those who are not able to play it on vinyl?
